While the beinoni cannot guarantee that all his “produce” will belong to G-d and cannot affect that his actual person can be considered a G-dly entity, there is still a way in which he can guarantee that his future “produce” and actions will be in accordance to G-d’s will.
Though he cannot transfer his essential self to become an acquisition of G-d, he can “transfer ownership over a property itself with regard to the produce it yields.” He cannot transfer his entire self to G-d, but he can transfer his self in relation to his expression.
The meaning of this is as follows: Although in a general sense, the way that a beinoni serves G-d is through his “produce” and not that he himself becomes a G-dly article, nevertheless, he is not limited to serving G-d only through his actions. By the beinoni preventing the evil that is in heart from coming to fruition, he can eventually create an indelible mark on his heart and mind, even concerning the future. He can achieve this through affecting his heart and causing his evil inclination to be in a state of slumber.
Text 10
In a beinoni it is, by way of example, similar to a sleeping man, who can awaken from his sleep. So is the evil in the beinoni dormant, as it were, in the left pan, during the recital of the Shema and the Prayer [Amidah], when his heart is aglow with the love of G-d, but later it can wake up again.
Tanya, Ch. 13
When a beinoni prays, the love and fear that he awakens in his heart induces sleep in his evil inclination. Though “later it can wake up again,” there is still a residue that remains in the individual after he has finished praying.
