Spiritual War And Peace

This discourse was delivered by the Rebbe on Shabbat Sedra Ki Tetze, 5725 (1965). Rabbi Shneur Zalman in Likkutei Torah interprets 'When you go out to war against your enemies' as the spiritual battle that takes place in prayer, where the soul wrestles with its own inner desires. The discourse reveals how prayer is a form of spiritual warfare in which the individual's power of desire is redirected from physical to Divine focus, achieving inner peace through that transformation.
