Rabbi Chaim Vital writes in Pri Eitz Chaim (Shar Shabbos, Chapter 4) the following; My Teacher (the Holy Arizal) may his memory be blessed, would say that all the Mitzvos that a person does are inscribed upon his forehead. Each and every Mitzvah is written with a different letter, the the letter that is specifically associated with that particular Mitzvah. If a person does a single Mitzvah then the letter of that Mitzvah glows. If he then does another Mitzvah, than the letter of the first Mitzvah goes away and becomes swallowed in his forehead. However if he does the Mitzvah of Tzedaka, [the letter] does not become swallowed up inside, like the lights of the other letters, rather it continues to glow for the entire week upon his forehead and does not immediately become swallowed up, as in the mystery of ‘His righteousness (Tzidkoso – Charity) remain forever’.</div>

We openly see here the importance of the Mitzah of Tzedaka and how a person who partakes in it has spiritual light glowing from his forehead for the entire week.</div>

Binyamin Hatzadik was a manager of a charity fund. Once during a year of famine he was approached by a woman who requested financial support. Binyomin Hatzadik swore by the Service of the Bais Hamikdash that the fund was currently depleted. She responded that if he would not support her then she and her seven children would die. Upon hearing this Binyamin Hatzadik went ahead and supported this family from his personal money.</div>

Years later Binyamin Hatzadik became ill and was near death. In heaven the Ministering Angels argued in his behalf in front of Hashem. They said it is known from the Torah that one who sustains a single Jewish soul, it is as if he sustained the entire world. This is the reason why Adom was created alone, to show that each person through his descendants can fill the world. This is also the reason why Hashem rebuked Kayin after he murdered Hevel, “the bloods of your brother are calling out”. He used the plural word ‘bloods’ to imply that Kayin had murdered Hevel and all the descendants that would have come from him. Binyamin Hatzadik had saved a woman and her seven children, the defending Angles demanded to know how he could pass away at such a young age. Their plea was accepted in Heaven and immediately the decree for Binyomin Hatzadik’s death was torn and an additional 22 years were added to his life.<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></strong></div>

Think about all the extra money needed for cleaning, Matzos, Holiday meals and everything else that comes along with Pesach. It has long been a tradition in Jewish communities to donate Maos Chitim and provide help to families that can not afford all these extra expenses. Yesod Yosef distributes 100% of these funds directly to poor families in Eretz Yisroel who are in a constant financial struggle and are definitely more needy around Pesach time. <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">B”H we have already been able to assist 22 families this year, help us help more families. </strong></div>

He was ashamed of his situation and would not beg people for assistance. One day the pauper became weak from hunger. Rabbi Yesa passed by and heard a heavenly voice cry “Justice, justice, a soul is floating towards Me who has not reached his time to pass away! Woe is to the people of his city, that not a single was can be found who will revive his soul!”</em></div>

Sweat broke across the face of the pauper and his life returned to him. Later when Rabbi Yesa asked him what had happened, the pauper related how his soul had departed from him and was brought in front of the throne of Hashem the King. He had wanted to remain there but Hashem had desired to merit Rabbi Yessa with the act of saving him. Rabbi Yesa informed the people of the city and from that day on they cared for this pauper.</em><br />

As we near Pesach the expenses start pilling up. Think about all the extra money needed for cleaning, Matzos, Holiday meals and everything else that comes along with Pesach. It has long been a tradition in Jewish communities to donate Maos Chitim and provide help to families that can not afford all these extra expenses. Yesod Yosef distributes 100% of these funds directly to poor families in Eretz Yisroel who are in a constant financial struggle and are definitely more needy around Pesach time.</div>

Although the indecent of Bat Sheva was not considered a sin, on the level where <a href="http://zissil.com/topics/Dovid-HaMelech">Dovid Hamelech</a> was holding it was considered a flaw and he did ferocious Teshuva to cleanse his soul from it, at the same time opening the gateway for future sinners to repent. For six months Dovid accepted upon himself leprosy. During this period, the Shichina separated itself from him and the members of the Sanhedrin abstained from him. For another 22 years Dovid lost his Ruach Hakodesh. Each day during these years, Dovid would fast and cry, each night eating his bread dipped in ashes. For 13 of these years he was bed bound with great suffering and each day they would replace seven pillows from under him after they became soaked in puss, blood and fluids.</div>

He also graciously accepted the great humility of being dethroned by Avshalem, going as far as to thank Hashem for it in Tehilim Chapter 3. He also accepted the severe curse of Shimi ben Gira who himself was holding at a fearsome level. During all these years Dovid's enemies gloried thinking that Hashem had abandoned him, until he shook the entire upper universe with his awesome Teshuva. It was staggering that Dovid did such Teshuva for a minor flaw, he therefore merited the aspect of Moshiach, to become the 4th foot of the chariot, head to all those with Roach Hakodesh and Royalty was given to his descendants forever.

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">The 'Truth' Helps A Person Escape the Lusts </span><br />
The 'Truth' is the concept of 'Hashem's candle that searches all inner rooms', since through the 'Truth' one can search all the inner rooms and escape the darkness and gloom that infiltrate the inner rooms, which are the essence of the lusts and bad attributes. The 'Truth' can light up all the inner rooms and helps advise and strengthen a person how to return from all these to Hashem.<br />
<strong>(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 13 based on LH </strong><strong>Hilchos Geneva, Halacha 5, Section 14)</strong><br />

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">'Truth' With Lusts Needs Further Separation From 'Falsehood' </span><br />
Even if it appears to a person that he knows the 'Truth', only that his lusts still overwhelm him so much that he does not have the power to stand up against them, this is also 'Falsehood'. If a person would only continue to pull himself to the 'Truth', he will certainly get the strength and advice needed to escape them. Hashem does not approach his creations with grievances and does not send a person a test that he can not overcome.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Impossible to Convey Advice Needed for Each Person in Every Situation and Time</span><br />
There is much to discuss about this topic but it is not possible to completely explain the purity of the 'Truth' that each person needs, each day and each hour according to his situation especially when it comes to strengthening himself.<br />

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">We Need the True Tzadikim</span><br />
Even people that are righteous, G-d fearing and study Torah can not reach completion without the true Sages and Tzadikim. Certainly this applies to a person who committed a flaw, and for sure to a person that committed many sins and caused many flaws, Heaven forbid, as is commonly found nowadays due to our many sins. Such a person certainly can not be healed in body and soul without the great and wondrous Tzadikim that know how to expound the Torah with truth and completion. They know the the roots of the souls of every Jew as it is found in the Torah. They also know how to explain and make clear all the paths, advice, methods and techniques that any person who wishes to enter inside holiness needs. In a way that every individual can receive a cure for any form of mental or physical illness that exists.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Emuna Incomplete Without Faith in Tzadikim</span><br />
The main component of our 'holy faith', is faith in the Sages, since they draw us down the 'holy faith' with completion. Due to that, without faith in the Sages a persons faith in Hashem is also not complete.<br />
<strong>(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 18 based on LH </strong><strong>Hilchos Shabbos, Halacha 6, Section 11)</strong><br />

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Permissible Levels of Delving are Relative to Person </span><br />
A person has to be cautious not to enter and delve in things where he does not have permission to do so as in the concept of "What is profound to you do not delve into". As soon as a person sees something that makes him confounded, that he can not understand and comprehend - he should run away from there and lean only on his faith. A person that flaws in this, it is an element of the flaw of eating milk and meat together.<br />

<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Faith Dispels Worries and Fear </span><br />
A person whose heart is complete with Hashem and his faith is strong and believes that everything happens only according to Hashem's will, he is always happy and never has any worries or fear at all, from anything that exists in the world.<br />

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Mikva Increases Emuna</span><br />
Immersing and purification in the mikva is auspicious to raise and complete a person's faith.<br />

It is not possible to fully rectify the lust for wealth, as long as a person did not merit to reach complete faith. Likewise it is not possible to merit complete faith as long as a person did not nullify his desire for wealth. If so where does he begin? Therefore the main method is to just yell to Hashem at all times and this is the start of all beginnings. Then Hashem will help him to merit all the rectifications at once.<br />
<span class="style2" style="color: #009900; font-weight: bold;">(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 23 based on LH Hilchos Urlah, Halacha 4, Section 18, 19)</span><br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Complete Tikkun Habris is Dependent on Emunas Chachamim </span><br />
The primary element of complete Tikkun Habris is through faith in the Sages. <strong><br /><span class="style2" style="color: #009900;">(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 33 based on LH </span></strong><span class="style2" style="color: #009900; font-weight: bold;">Hilchos Pirya Vrivya, Halacha 1, Section 10)</span><br />

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Be Cautious About Kashrus of Meat </span><br />
All sorts of Triefos (non properly slaughtered animal) stem from the concept of Pigam Habris, therefore there are seventy types of Trefos that parallel the encompassing bad of the seventy nations, whom are all very steeped in this lust. Through eating Kosher, that is; being fully careful not to eat Nivalos and Treifos (unkoser meat), through this; a person's stupidity is subdued and he merits rectification of the mind, Tikun Habris and to earn an easy livelihood.<br />

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Avoid Eating Non Jewish Cooked Food and Wine </span><br />
When a person is not careful to refrain from eating food cooked by a non Jew and wine touched by a non Jew, through this the 'encompassing bad' attaches itself to him which can lead to severe Pigam Habis, Heaven Forbid. When a person is careful from eating non Jewish cooked food and wine, through this he merits Tikkun Habris and to have the mysteries of the Torah revealed to him.<br />

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Only Drink A Little Alcohol and Under Specific Circumstances </span><br />
It is not befitting to drink wine or alcoholic beverages, only a little to expand the mind and even this only on Shabbos, Yom Tov and at celebrations of a Mitzva (Seudas Mitzva). This too can only be done when a person merits to bind himself to the 'true Tzadikim' that already merited to total and complete Kedushas HaBris. Through them any person can draw upon himself the holiness of the Bris which is an element of the holiness of Shabbos, which is the concept of the seventy aspects, which is the concept of the seventy souls of Yackov's family. Then specifically a person can drink a little wine on Shabbos and Yom Tov to make himself happy and expand his mind, in order that he can awaken and increase his experience of the sweetness of the holiness of the Torah, the holiness of the Jewish Nation, the holiness of Shabbos and get drawn upon him through the power of the true Tzadikim.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Eating With Holiness is Dependent on Tikun Habris </span><br />
The essential ability to eat with holiness is in accordance with a person Tikun habris. As it says a "tzadik eats to the fulfillment of his soul" and it is known that a Tzadik is one who guards the holy Bris.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">All Prayers Add Up </span><br />
Even though we are pleading for so many years to return to Eretz Yisroel and we are still far from there, despite this not a single prayer or yell has been lost, even the smallest of the smallest. With each yell and prayer we capture one part and element of Eretz Yisroel. Until all these elements that we captured through prayer group together and then we will return to our land in the near future.</div>
<div align="justify">
Even an individual that is very flawed and his yelling and prayers do not have the power to capture a piece or element of Eretz Yisroel, despite this his yells accomplish a lot. This is because his yells are considered a protest. Just like it is brought down regarding the laws of 'Possessing Lands', where as long as the former owner issues protests, the possession of the current occupier does not help at all. Therefore even though they have robed us of Eretz Yisroel which is our land and inheritance and we do not have the power to extract it from them due to our flawed actions, despite this each time that we pray and yell that Eretz Yisroel is ours since it is our inheritance, with this we are issuing a protest to the Sitra Acher, that they should know that their occupation and possession is not legitimate at all, since Eretz Yisroel is ours from our forefathers, and at the end of it all we will extract it from their hands with Hashem's help.<br />

Mentioning the names of the righteous is a very, very awesome and wondrous thing and it greatly helps for spiritual service of Hashem. It is also auspicious to merit Eretz Yisroel through this, since it is not possible to reach Eretz Yisroel without the power of the true Tzadikim in the aspect of 'the righteous will conquer the land'.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Rectification by the Tzadikim </span><br />
After all the great effort and self sacrifice that was done by the Tzadikim, who literally sacrifice their lives in every generation for the rectification of the Jewish souls. Despite this, the Satan and Yetzer Hara still dance amongst us and assault the Jews, mainly though Pigam Habris. We find that the same thing happened by Moshe Rabbanue himself. After all the efforts he made to rectify the souls of the Jews, at the end of his days, the wicked Billam came and made them stumble in Pigam Habris. Sometimes the Tzadik has to die and pass away for this, since due to the great extending of the Sitra Acher it is not possible to completely finish the rectification while alive, only after his passing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
From this flaw (Pigam Habris) comes all the obstacles, confusion, struggles and controversy that prevent a person from drawing close to Holiness. They prevent him from completely bringing forth his holy energy from potential to actualization. This is because all the obstacles of drawing close to Holiness come from the impurity of Keri, May the Merciful One save us.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
This is the meaning of "I will bring them to the land of their enemies", since through Pigam Habris the enemies and haters of holiness from whom all obstacles originate, become strong. The main rectification to break all the obstacles and enemies is through desire and yearning for Holiness, since though this one merits to break all the obstacles. The verse therefore finishes "then they will appease their sins" (Yirtzu, same root a Ratzon / desire), meaning that they will turn all their sins which are the source of their opposition into desire. And through this "I will remember my convent of Yackov", meaning that Hashem will recall the merit of the great Tzadikim that have already passed away. Since the main rectification of this sin is through them as the Tazdikim are greater after death then when alive. Therefore, specifically after their passing they finish the rectification for the sin of Pigam Habris which is the central rectification of the souls of Israel.<br />

The main cause for the punishment where the convicted is sentenced to be clothed in clothing of excrement, Heaven forbid, is only through Pigam Habris. As it says "and Yehoshua was dressed in clothing of excrement" and the Sages said it was because his sons had married non Jewish women, This is because Pigam Habris can be identified through a persons garments as manifested in the concept of "also at the edges of your garments, blood from clean impoverished souls can be found", which is the concept of Pigam Habris, which is considered as if he spills clean blood, Heaven forbid. Therefore the main rectification of the garments, which is the concept of 'white garments' is dependent on Tikkun Habris.<br />

It is very necessary to sanctify oneself at the time of relationships since the entire world is dependent on this. The entire world was created only for the honor of Hashem and the main revelation of Hashem's honor is through procreation, when humans are born and multiply, since it with them that this honor is dependent. Therefore when a person sanctifies himself and has intentions to birth a child that will raise the honor of Hashem, then a spirit of holiness is drawn upon the child and he merits that his children will be righteous and Hashem's honor will be increased by them, thereby alowing the entire world to continue to exist be because of this. Heaven forbid, the opposite is also true and then the children that are born are not appropriate and Hashem's honor is not increased by them. It comes out this was all caused because he did not sanctify himself. It therefore considered as if he destroyed the entire world, since the main existence of the world is through the above mentioned honor and this honor is dependent on procreation.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Thievery of the Baal Davar </span><br />
The main lust for impurity is a result of the 'evil one's' thievery since he burglarizes and tunnels in the thoughts of a person with many plots, trickery and thievery until he brings him to an impure thought, Heaven forbid.</div>
<div align="justify">
This is why the negative commandment of 'Lo Tinuf' is written near 'Lo Tignov', since the main impurity stems from the thievery of the 'evil one'. This is an aspect of 'If you see a thief you complied with him and with perverts is your share'. The verse is rebuking; 'If you see a thief' which is the Evil Inclination, and you 'complied with him', through this 'with the perverts is your share'. In truth, it was fitting to be very cautious from this thief, since a person needs to greatly guard his thoughts so not to fall in the trap of this thief. But you - not only did you not guard yourself from him, you even 'complied with him', Heaven forbid and therefore 'with the perverts is your share'.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Therefore a person needs to be cautious and greatly guard himself not to pursue the bad thoughts that the evil inclination places in his mind through his thievery and trickery. Instead he should try with all his power to expel and eliminate this thief from his midst. In truth a person has free choice to expel him since thoughts are in the hand of a person to direct them as he wills. This is the main situation of 'free will'. Fortunate is one who guards his thoughts, 'holy' he will be called.<br />

Health</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A person that is Shomer Habris can recieve healing through reguler food instead of medications. Every single herb and grass has a unique power to cure some specific illness. All this is only needed for a person that does not have strong faith in Hashem, is not Shomer Habris and other people are degraded in his eyes. However someone that has complete faith, is Shomer Habris and never degrades others, does not need this. His healing is not dependent on specific herbs. He can be cured through any type of food and drink and does not have to wait until the specific herbs are attained <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="source" style="color: #006600; font-size: 9px;">[</span><span class="source" style="color: #006600; font-size: 9px;">3</span><span class="source" style="color: #006600; font-size: 9px;">3]</span></span>.

Shmiras Habris gives a person the ability to pray and a person that is Shomer Habris merits prayer.

Blessed be Hashem that he prepared a cure before our illness and sent us a redeemer, the flowing stream, our master and teacher Rebbe Nachman, may his memory be blessed. That he and his holy student revealed to us the great unlimited mercy that Hashem has for us. However their holy words and great techniques for strengthening and revival are all spread out in the holy torahs of the books Likutay Maharan and Likutay Halachos.<br /><strong>(Eitzot Yisharot Introduction)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">A Person Must Pass Over A Narrow Bridge of Truth</span><br />The main bridge that a person has to pass over in this world is the 'truth'. Since a person has to pass over a very narrow bridge in this world and the main thing is not to be frightened at all.<br /><strong>(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 1 based on LH Hilchos Tefilin, Halacha 5, Section 41)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">The Truth Helps One to Overcome All Obstacles </span><br />All the confusion and all the obstacles that a person has regarding his service of Hashem, the main obstacle is the uncertainty of the mind. The main method to pass over all of these is the 'truth' which guides a person how to pass over it all.<br /><strong>(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 1 based on LH Hilchos Tefilin, Halacha 5, Section 41)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Holding the Weapons in Your Hands in Itself is a Victory</span><br />A person whose intention is for the 'truth' and girdles himself in battle for the sake of the 'truth' - he is always victorious. Any time a person takes any action for the battle of this Mitzvah, he is immediately victorious, since his intent is purely for the sake of Heaven. Even if he does not merit to completely win the battle, despite this, this in itself that he is holding weapons in his hands to do battle against the enemies of Hashem, the Yetzer Hara and his forces, this in itself is called a victory. Each and every action and even a slight movement that a person strengthens himself and does to do the will of Hashem is very precious in His eyes and immediately he is very victorious with a true eternal victory. This is the only true victory, since this victory will last forever as "there is no good intention that is lost". This is eluded to in the holy Zohar in regards to the four species of the lulav. It says there: "Who is victorious? The one who holds weapons in his hands". Since as soon as a person holds weapons in his hands to battle those that oppose him from reaching the 'truth', with this alone he has already conquered much.<br /><strong>(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 2 based on LH Hilchos Birchas HaRiya, Halacha 5, Section 9,19)</strong></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Do Not Despir Due to the Knowledge of Your Sins</span><br />Sometimes a person can fall, Heaven forbid because of 'truth' itself, since he knows in his soul that he has flawed and destroyed much and now he is also holding where he is. Therefore the the 'evil one' entices him through this 'truth' to completely destroy himself. This is a common occurrence amongst people and many have completely lost their existence through this 'truth'.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
However the true Tzadikim have already revealed to us that the 'truth of the truth' is not like this. Rather a person has to strengthen himself with Hashem at all times and to actualize the concept of "If I go to heaven You are there and if I lay in Hell, You are there". That even in the pits of Hell, Heaven forbid a person should know and believe that he is still close to Hashem and no despair exists in the world and even from there it is possible to truthfully draw close to Hashem.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Certainly a person needs to guard himself from sin, even from the most minor flaw. Despite this even if a person has stumbled as much as he stumbled, even tens of thousands of times, Heaven forbid. Despite this, at each and every second the loving kindness of Hashem continues and it is possible for a person to draw himself close to Hashem at any time regardless of where he is holding. The greatness of Hashem is immeasurable and through Teshuva, crying out, prayer and much pleading everything can change for the better as in the concept where "sins transform into merits". This is the essence of the 'truth of truths'.<br /><strong>(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 2 based on LH Hilchos Shabbos, Halacha 7, Section 58, 63, 64)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Do Not Get Mislead by False 'Truths'</span><br />All the controversy on the true Tzadikim, both the controversy originating from other chasidim and righteous individuals and especially what comes from the philosophers that lean towards the path of disbelief, Heaven forbid, this is all through their created 'truths'. The 'truth' is made into piles and piles and each person claims he has the 'truth'. Therefore most of the books of philosophy cry out only about 'truth'. Woe is to them and their forged 'truth', that is in essence the epitome of falsehood and disbelief, Heaven forbid. It comes out that 'truth' also needs good protection so that a person should not get misled, Heaven forbid through false 'truths'.<br /><strong>(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 2 based on LH Hilchos Shabbos, Halacha 7, Section 58, 63, 64)</strong></div>

<b><br /></b><span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Yelling to Hashem Helps One Exit Even Worst Darkness </span><br />Even if a person has fallen to the place where he has fallen, Heaven forbid. Even if the darkness surrounds him from all sides. Despite this, if he believes in Hashem with truthful simplicity that Hashem is one and cries out to Hashem "Hashem, Hashem why have you abandon me" and pleads to him with truth. Then the 'truth' lights up the way for him to leave the darkness and enter light. He then also merits to create an opening for others, to take them out of the darkness and bring them to Teshuva.<br /><strong>(Eitzot Yisharot Emes VeMuna 9 based on LH </strong><strong>Hilchos Dayanim, Halacha 20, Section 20)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Faith Only Exsits Where Mind Does Not Grasp </span><br />It is not possible to reach 'faith' except through 'truth'. (Meaning, the essence of faith only exists regarding what the mind does not understand, since regarding concepts that the mind understands, faith does not apply. If so, that the mind does not understand, how will a person come to have faith in the proper beliefs? Therefore the essence of faith is dependent on 'truth', if a person wishes to look at the authentic truth, he will understand by himself that one needs to have faith in Hashem, the true Tzadikim and the holy Torah, even though it is not possible to understand this with our physical mind. By looking at the truth with an eye of truthfulness, one will understand from afar what the truth is, only that he can not understand it with his mind. We have to strengthen ourselves in complete faith, understand this well).<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 4)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Truth Only Possible by Attachment to Tzadikim Which Leads to Tikkun Habris</span><br />It is not possible to reach 'truth' except through coming close to the true Tzadikim and proceeding with their advice, not drifting from their words to the right or left. Through this, 'truth' will become embedded in a person and he will merit 'faith'. Additionally one has to distance himself from the advice of the wicked, those that oppose and dispute the truth. All this a person can merit through the mitzvah of Tzitzis, which is a manifestation of the concept of 'protection from impurity', 'impurity' which is the concept of the 'advice of the wicked' and one merits to rectification of the Bris which is the concept of the 'advice of the Tzadikim'.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 5)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">One Needs Perfect Emuna to Become a Leader</span><br />A person should not accept leadership or a position of authority unless he has such complete faith, that no higher level of faith exists. Even if a person believes in something or other that falls into the category of divination (Darchi HaEmori), for example; if a deer cuts him off on the road, even though he also believes in Hashem, he should not accept the position of leadership. Even if the person himself is convinced that he has mercy on the world and therefore wants to lead them. In truth he is chasing after honor and attributing his desire for leadership on mercy. Through this, it is possible to come to atheism and disbelief, Heaven forbid. However in Heaven they have mercy and they do not leave the leadership in their hands.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 9)</strong></div>

A rectification for this is to be hospitable to guests that are true Torah Scholars. Through this one merits to faith, to break the disbelief and humiliation and to overcome the opposers.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 15)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Emes is One, Sheker is Many</span><br />Truth is one, while falsehood is many. It is not possible to say the truth about anything in more then one way. That is, exactly what it is. For example; on silver - only that it is silver, on gold - only that it is gold. However falsehood is many, since you can say countless lies. For example on silver, that it is copper or tin or lead or countless other names. Therefore in the final end, the truth will for sure be revealed and the opposition will become nullified, since all opposition is only due to the large endless quantity of falsehood, that from there originates all the opposition. In 'one' opposition is not possible. Therefore the truth that is one, will certainly remain existing forever, since the truth is the unification of Hashem. All the falsehoods from which originates the opposition will be vanquished and He will remain forever, since the truth of Hashem is forever.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 25)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Emuna Leads to Eventual Understanding</span><br />When a person is very strong in faith, he later merits to reach understanding. The more he strengthens himself in faith, the more understanding he receives. The concept that he initially needed to understand since he did not understand it, he later merits to understand this with his mind as a result of his strong faith. However afterwards there are other higher concepts that are hidden from him and he is unable to understand them with his mind. He then has to strengthen himself more with faith, to believe in the concepts that are currently hidden from him and does not understand them with his mind, until he merits to understand these concepts as well with his mind... so too forever. However the faith has to be very, very strong, until the faith spreads in all his limbs, then he is able to merit reaching understanding through faith as mentioned above.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 32)</strong></div>

He therefore has to guard himself even more so he does not become trapped in any mistakes and falsehood due to his suffering, Heaven forbid.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 39)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Tip for Faith, Proclaim it Verbally </span><br />Faith is dependent on the mouth of a person, that he must verbally proclaim his faith, as it says "I will proclaim my beliefs with my mouth". Therefore when a person falls from his faith, Heaven forbid, a recommendation for this is to speak out the beliefs with his mouth. He should proclaim with a full mouth that he believes in etc... This in itself, that he speakswords of faith with his mouth, this in itself is a concept of faith. Also through this one merits to reach complete faith, since faith is dependent on a persons mouth as mentioned above.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 45)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Avoid Looking at Books of Philosophy </span><br />A person has to very careful not to look at all in books that discuss philosophy. They are very harmful and damaging to our holy faith. This is already explained in a number of other places (in Rebbe Nachman's books). However it is necessary to repeat this warning a number of times, so a person does not lose his world in an instance, Heaven forbid.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 47)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Vapors Emitted From Wise Wicked Cause Niuf </span><br />There are wise men, some of them that are even wise in the teachings of the Torah but they do not have any faith. These wise men are are referred to as 'Baali Rason' and one has to distance himself from them and their surroundings with all forms of separation. Our Sages of blessed memory have warned us to distance ourselves from 'Baali Rason', since the breath of their mouth is very damaging for a righteous person. Because of it he can sometimes fall into impure lusts, Heaven forbid, due to the breath of their mouth, since these wise men are generally big perverts.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 50)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Fasts Only Needed Due to Limited Emuna</span><br />When there is constricted consciousness and flawed faith, a person needs to perform difficult forms of spiritual worship such as fasts and similar acts. However when a person's faith is complete, he can serve Hashem through anything, since Hashem does not approach his creations with grievances.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 52)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Thoughts of Atheism Caused by Sins or Impure Birth</span><br />There are those that have doubts about our 'holy faith' since they were not born in proper purity. Then there are those that added these thoughts upon themselves through their bad actions that they personally committed, since there are sins that place heresy in a person. Because all of this a person needs to be greatly embarrassed and have a broken heart. A person that has such thoughts and calculations against our holy faith, Heaven forbid, it is befitting that he should be very greatly embarrassed that he came to these thoughts through his sins. Through the embarrassment and and broken heart, he will nullify and expel the thoughts of heresy. Also it was already explained that a great recommendation for faith is to say and speak out the beliefs with his mouth.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 56)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">No Life Without Emuna</span><br />A person that has faith, his life is a life. However without faith, he does not have a life at all. There is no person that will not experience much suffering, misery and dilemmas, since "man was born to toil". When a person has faith, then even when he is undergoing suffering and misery, Heaven forbid, he can comfort himself that Hashem will have mercy on him and things will eventually get better and that all the suffering is for his good and serves as an atonement, since everything Hashem does is surely for a great benefit. However a philosopher that does not have faith, when he experiences a hardship, he does not have anyone to turn to and does not have something to revive and comfort himself. Therefore he has no life at all, since he lives without Hashem and Divine Providence, may the Merciful One save us. However, through faith a person always lives a good life.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Emes Vemuna 57)</strong></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Sighs of Holiness Are Very Valuable</span><br />A sigh of holiness is very valuable. When a person sighs about how he is far from holiness, through this he severes the rope of impurity and ties the rope of holiness. On the contrary when a person sighs about a lust that he is craving, it causes the opposite, Heaven forbid.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Anucha 3)</strong></div>

Therefore his eating, drinking and all other enjoyments are only from the actual sparking of the Hebrew Letters. This causes his heart to light up, which in turn causes his face to glow. He merits to purify his face to such an extent that he can awaken others to repent just by having them look at his face without having to do anything else. Each person will then will see himself reflected on his face like a mirror and they will see how they are steeped in darkness. Then without any rebuke or criticism he will awaken his friend to repent just by having him look at his face alone.<br /><strong>(Likutei Etzot, Achila 3)</strong></div>

However as long as my soul is inside me, as long as I have life, I will sacrifice my soul and travel with all my might there. As long as I am still alive I will travel there "and Hashem should do as he sees fit in his eyes."<br /><span class="style4" style="color: #009933; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">(Shivchay Haran - His Journey to Eretz Yisroel 6)</span></div>

When they entered, after an hour or two, Rebbe Nachman said he did not desire to remain there. Their translator asked him if it would suit them to stay in Central Istanbul which served as the Royal district where the Turkish ruler resides, since no couples are allowed in, only males alone. Rebbe Nachman answered that for sure there it is good by him.<br /><span class="style4" style="color: #009933; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">(Shivchay Haran - His Journey to Eretz Yisroel 9)</span></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Been In Eretz Yisroel</span><br />He would greatly boast that he had merited to have been in Eretz Yisroel . Even in the end of his days, he said that he revives himself greatly with that that he had merited to have been in Eretz Yisroel.<br /><span class="style4" style="color: #009933; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">(Shivchay Haran - His Journey to Eretz Yisroel 28)</span></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Continuous Non Stop Aovda</span><br />After all these, after he did all types of spiritual services as mentioned above with simplicity and truth, and was abundant in fasts, many countless prayers, sigufim (self tormentations) and breaking of the lusts and bad attributes and he after he had passed many tests and other circumstances mentioned above and was abundant very much in Hisbodedute, speaking between himself and his Creator, laying out his conversation in Yiddish etc... Until he reached an extremely high and lofty spiritual level of maximum holiness while in complete nullification and great closeness to Hashem on the levels of the great spiritual ascenders. All this he merited in the days of his very youth, since during the days he did not rest and at night he did not sleep or slumber. He was very persistent in his spiritual worship from day to day, beginning from the days of his early youth. He worked and toiled greatly from day to day, until he merited in his very youth to all the above levels, to a very high and awesome holiness and great enlightenment on the levels of the great spiritual ascenders.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Despite having merited all the above he did not pacify his mind with this and would not allow himself to stand still. Even afterwards, every day and every hour he would yearn, crave and languish for Hashem, as if he had not yet started any spiritual service at all. Even after he returned from Eretz Yisroel where he merited very great and lofty enlightenment that can not even be measured, yet despite this from the day he arrived from Eretz Yisroel until the day he passed away in peace, above and above, he always yearned and craved for Hashem as if he had not yet accomplished anything at all.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
To write about this there will not be enough parchment. Even the little we merited to understand regarding this from what we heard from his holy mouth and what we saw with our eyes. Each time it was his custom to yearn for Hashem while being very truthfully humble in his own eyes, having great mercy on himself as if he still had never smelled any smell from the Service of Hashem and as if he had not started at all.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A person that has transgressed the entire Torah numerous times, Heaven forbid. When this man truthfully awakens to repent and then examines himself to see where he is holding in this world, for sure he has a very broken heart and has great mercy upon himself with great submission and humility. There is no reason to discuss something that is self understood. Still even the mercy and broken heart of this baal teshuva does not reach a thousandth of the great mercy, broken heart, submission and humility that Rebbe Nachman had each and every time before he reached a higher level of enlightenment.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
As a rule, Rebbe Nachman never rested and was never still even in his days of greatness. Even though he already merited what he merited, having G-dly perception in an high, fearful and awesome level. Despite this he was not satisfied and toiled and labored at all times and all hours, accepting suffering upon himself, hard bitter suffering to which almost no comparison exists and said many prayers, pleadings, beseechings and requests with very great fearsome yearning and lounging until he reached a higher level of enlightenment. After this, immediately after he merited this enlightenment he was a little joyous.</div>

<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
There were times we merited to hear from his mouth that currently he had become aware of new things etc... then he was happy a little. After this, as soon as he merited to this he began anew, forgetting all the past, as if he had not started yet at all. He then went back and began anew as a person does when they begin arriving and entering the holiness of Judaism. There were times we would hear explicitly from his mouth how he said with yearning and aspiration "How does one merit to be a Jew?". He would say this with truth and great simplicity as if he had not yet started at all. So to this happened a number of times. He would constantly go up from level to level, even though he had already merited very great high and fearsome of levels etc... Despite this he would never pacify his mind with this at all. Immediately after he would have a broken heart and great mercy upon himself with great submission etc... until he managed to reach an even higher level. So too was his path until the end.</div>

<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Many times it was his custom to say that now he does not know absolutely anything at all. There were times where he swore on this, that truthfully he does not know at all, even though the proceeding day or just an hour earlier, he revealed ancient things. Despite this afterwards he said that he does not know at all. Regarding this he was a very very big innovation. He said explicitly that his Torah is a very big innovation, however he "not knowing" is even an exceedingly greater innovation.<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>(Shivchay Haran - His Journey to Eretz Yisroel 33)</strong></span></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Always Climbing to Higher Levels </span><br />It was already hear from his holy mouth that he said, "there are Tzadikim that worked hard and toiled until they merited some level, each Tzadik to the level that he merited. For example; by a king, each of his ministers through their labor merits to a certain stature or high position according to their efforts". However regarding himself he said, that if he knows that currently he was holding on the same level and position as yesterday, he does not wish to exists at all. Rather each time he climbs from level to level.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
There is much to discus regarding this, however it is impossible to put this into writing. Only a person that merited to see this with his eyes and to hear it with his ears was able to comprehend in his heart a little regarding how he never ever remained in one level. Rather immediately he would yearn to climb to a higher level, until he merited etc.. Like this he acted constantly. He was a great innovation regarding this and all this was according to our limited perception. There is more to this subject, mysteries of mysteries, wonders of wonders, enough has been said.</div>

How in every state of knowledge this 'ultimate goal' exists. Therefore even if we merit to reach this 'ultimate goal' of 'knowing nothing, despite this it is still not the 'final ultimate goal', since it is only the 'ultimate goal' in this state of knowledge and afterwards we need to work hard to merit the 'higher ultimate goal', and merit the ultimate level of 'knowing nothing' in a higher state of knowledge, so too forever. It comes out that at all times we know nothing at all, yet despite this, we did not begin to comprehend the final goal.<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>(Shivchay Haran - His Journey to Eretz Yisroel 35)</strong></span><br /><br /><span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">The Tourtured Servents Deserve the Greatest Reward</span><br />Once a king sent three men to a foreign country with hidden message for a different king. They had to pass amongst countries that were hostile to the king. The first messenger acted with wisdom, completely hiding his mission. He passed through the entire hostile country and they did not even perceive that he had a hidden message. When the second messenger passed thorough, the hostile countrymen realized his mission, they understood he carried a hidden message and captured him so he would reveal it. However, he managed to act with wisdom or strength and escaped from their hands. When the third messenger passed through they realized his mission as well, they understood he had a hidden message. They captured him and tortured him with all types of tortures, numerous times. Regardless of all the tortures, afflictions and great suffering they inflicted on him, he did not speak a word, passing the test and not revealing the hidden message. Once they saw that nothing was working, they let him go as they thought he must not know anything. He then traveled and came before the king.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
They were pondering which of the above three messengers deserved a greater reward. Some said, the first messenger deserved the most since he acted with wisdom and completely concealed his mission. Others said, the second messenger deserves more since they already caught him and despite this, he managed to escape through his wisdom or strength. The king then said "the third messenger deserves a greater reward then all of them since he had already become caught in their trap and for sure he also wanted to conceal his mission but had not managed to do so. He was then captured in their hands and they tormented him, torturing him with suffering and afflictions. Had he revealed even one hidden message, everyone would have chased after him in honor. Despite this he withstood the test and and did not reveal a thing. Therefore he deserves a greater reward then them all".<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>(Shivchay Haran - His Journey to Eretz Yisroel 36)</strong></span></div>

During the winter, at times when it was very cold he would go to the tomb of the Baal Shem Tov at night, from there he would return and go to the mikva.

He was already cold from traveling to the Baal Shem Tov's kever, since it was very far from his home to the cemetery and also from the cemetery to the mikva, aside from the considerable amount of time that he spent by the kever. Despite all this he would go and immerse specifically in outdoor mikva in order to torment himself (sigufim). All this was done secretly at nighttime.<br />

Rebbe Nasson heard from one that heard it directly from Rebbe Nachman's holy lips that at the time when he performed all these actions (sigufim) he was only six years old. He was so secretive with his actions, hiding them from other people that once he immersed in the mikva during the winter and when he returned from the immersion his payot were damp from the water. People around him wondered why anyone would wash their head in the winter, since it did not cross their minds that he had gone to the mikva but rather they thought he had washed his head. They were astonished that he had washed his head in such great cold weather and they considered it one of his childish acts, since he was very extremely hidden with his actions.</div>

Also, all the many fasts that he fasted, not a single person in the world knew about them including his parents and relatives. Only his wife alone know about this and he would bound her by an oath not to reveal this to anyone. He would do many, many tricks to hide and conceal all the fasts that he fasted in a way that not a person know about them.<br />

Regarding his trip to Eretz Yisroel there is much to tell regarding the great, tremendous and heavy suffering that he experienced going and returning. As well as great effort and self sacrifice and the many obstacles that he had before he merited to reach Eretz Yisroel.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Sigufim</span><br />
We also understood from the things he told us, that in his youth, at the time when he worked very hard with great effort for Avodas Hashem, he used to do all sorts of Sigufim (self tormentations). As it appeared from his words he used to practice all forms of existing Sigufim including Gilgul Sheleg (rolling undressed in the snow) etc... He said the Siguf of holding back and not itching oneself, this is the biggest siguf of all. Meaning, when a person is bitten by things that are close to his body and it is human nature to itch himself each time he feels a bite, he would accept this as a Siguf and whould hold himself back not to scratch, not with his hands, not with his body nor with any other limb. He said this is a very large Siguf, since a person is still and the bites get even stronger and he is forbidden to move with his hands or any other limb, rather he feels each bite in his mind. This is a very large Siguf. Rebbe Nachman did all types of existing Sigufim. Doing them all with simplicity and truth until he merited to what he merited, fortunate is he.<br />

As a rule, in all aspects of holiness and separation, both those involving the desires, as well as those involving the bad attributes and also im all aspects of hard work, intensity, hassles and suffering for Hashem, in each and every one of these, Rebbe Nachman was a very wondrous innovation. He was completely removed of all the lusts and bad attributes with total completion, until there was not even left in him even a slight residue from any lust or bad attribute. He merited to reach a fearsomely high level, as high as could be reached. It is impossible to speak at all about the essence of his great level since "All that add, subtract".<br />

Everything that we have told over until now, would be considered derogatory for Rebbe Nachman according to the great levels that he merited afterwards. Yet despite this we have related all the above regarding his spiritual service and path during his youth, in order that we should know and understand how there is freedom of choice and every person can merit very great levels if he wishes. Even though it seems to a person that spiritual worship is very heavy and hard, and they are not allowing him to enter the service of Hashem, since the lusts and bad attributes constantly chase after him. Still despite this he needs to be very stubborn in his service of Hashem and not look at all of this. In these stories a wise person will understand on his own, how even Rebbe Nachman passed through all these obstacles and heaviness. He passed through all of this and despite this merited to nullify it all since he truthfully wanted to serve Hashem and chose life with truth until he merited what he merited.<br />

Rebbe Nachman said even if he was not a descendant of the G-dly Baal Shem Tov, may his memory be blessed and even if he came from the lowest Jewish family, he still would have merited what he merited, through his intense worship and hard effort that he greatly, greatly worked and toiled in the service of Hashem.<br />

Rebbe Nachman was particularly stringent about those people that held the high levels of a Tzadik and the spiritual attainments he merits are due only to his soul, since he has a very high soul. He said this is not true, rather the main thing this is dependent on are his good deeds, hard work and sacrifices. He said explicitly, that any person in the world can merit the highest levels. As this is only dependent on a person's free will, if he wants to have mercy on himself and settle his mind very well to acknowledge what is truthfully good for him and "everything is according to the quantity of action".<br />

Even the awesome miracles that we saw from Rebbe Nachman, his memory should be blessed, we are not bothering with those to recite them, since they are not considered praise at all for him, according to his tremendous level. We have only told over what is relevant to the Service of Hashem, to awaken the wise one who seeks truth. There is no excuse in the world and any person could merit high levels if he were to proceed and follow in the paths of Rebbe Nachman, of blessed memory, that are found in this book. However the main thing is to be very acquainted with prayers and requests. Especially to speak between yourself and your creator in your native tongue. To do much conversation in front of Hashem, to appease and convince Him and to plead before Him that he should bring you close to his service in truth. This paragraph is enough for all those that seek truth.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Proceed With Balance </span><br />Even though a person has to be very - very quick in serving Hashem, to constantly push himself at every instant to accomplish a lot of holy service, since the main thing is action; to study a lot of Torah, to perform many Mitzvos and to do much prayer, begging an pouring out your heart in front of Hashem and so too with all other actions pertaining to the Service of Hashem. Still, do not become frightened when you see the Holy books describing many different holy services. Do not become frightened from this and say to yourself "When will I be able to accomplish even one of these described actions, certainly all of them". A person has to insure that he does not become confounded, trying to grab everything at once, rather he should proceed with ease and measurement, little by little. He should not become completely confused and confounded since he wants to do and grab everything all at once, due to this becoming completely confused. Just like when there is a fire, heaven forbid, due to the confusion people grab things they do not need. Instead a person should act with measurement and calmness, little by little.<br /><span class="style2" style="color: #006600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">(Sichos Haran 27)</span></div>

He should accustom himself to always yearn, crave and desire for Hashem, since the yearning and desire in itself are very big things and all Hashem wants is the heart.<br /><span class="style2" style="color: #006600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">(Sichos Haran 27)</span></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Relationships of a Tzadik </span><br />Rebbe Nachman said; relationships of a True Tzadik are very difficult for him. It is not enough that he does not have any lust at all, in fact the opposite he has real suffering from this, equivalent to a baby at the time of his Bris. It is exactly this pain that a Tzadik experiences at the time of a relationship and even more. A baby does not have knowledge, therefore his suffering is not that great. However a Tzadik who does have knowledge, his suffering is greater then that of the baby. This was to Rebbe Nachman a simple thing and he said that any person can merit to reach this level. As it appears from his words, his own holiness was much higher and greater then this.<br /><span class="style2" style="color: #006600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">(Shivchay Haran - His Greatness 17)</span></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Completely Clean</span><br />Rebbe Nachman said; by him man and woman are the same. Meaning, he does not receive any form of impure thoughts when he sees a woman. Instead everything is the same in his eyes and it is as if he is looking at a man.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
A different time Rebbe Nachman said; he is not afraid, not from a woman and not from an angel. There is much to explain about this, since any person that has even a trace of fear whatsoever from impure thoughts of women, even if he is clean from this but is not clean with complete cleansing and he still has some fear from this, this person has to be afraid of an angle. However Rebbe Nachman boasted that he has no fear of this, therefore he does not fear angles.<br /><span class="style2" style="color: #006600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">(Shivchay Haran - His Greatness 18)</span></div>

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Continue Even if you are Being Ignored </span><br />
Even though it appeared to Rebbe Nachman as if in Heaven they were never paying any attention to him and they were not listening to him at all, instead appearing contrary, as if they were distancing him from Hashem's service with all types of separations, as if they do not desire him at all. Since he saw how numerous days and years were passing by and he was still very far from Hashem and he still did not reach any closeness, therefore it appeared in his eyes that they were not listening to his words at all and they were not paying any attention to him, appearing contrary as if they were distancing him with all types of separations from Hashem's service.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Despite this, Rebbe Nachman would greatly strengthen himself and did not abandon his position. A few times it happened that he fell in his mind since he saw how much he prayed, pleaded and begged to come close to the service of Hashem and they were not paying any attention to him. Because of this he fell in his mind and a few days would pass where he would not converse so much with his Creator. Afterwards he would recollect himself and was very embarrassed that he had doubts about the attributes of Hashem, since in truth Hashem is for sure merciful and kind etc. and certainly wishes to bring him close to Him. Rebbe Nachman would then go back and strengthen his mind and once again start beseeching and talking to Hashem as mentioned above. So too this happened a few times.<br />

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Simplicity is the Greatest Wisdom</span><br />
Serving Hashem in simplicity was the essence of his great wisdom. Due to his great astounding wisdom he immediately realized that one does not need any wisdom when serving Hashem. This is the greatest wisdom of all, not to be wise when it comes to the service of Hashem, rather to serve Him with plainness and simplicity, without any wisdoms at all.<br />

<div align="justify">
<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Take Each Day at a Time</span><br />
Each and everything that Rebbe Nachman wanted to do in Avodas Hashem was very hard for him to perform with every existing type of heaviness. In the beginning it was very hard for him to sit alone in a secluded house for a few consecutive hours and occupy himself with Avodas Hashem. This thing was very hard for him at the beginning. However, Rebbe Nachman greatly strained himself, broke his urges and sat for a few hours each day doing Hisbodedus in a special room.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
So too it was very, very difficult for him to perform his spiritual service each day. It was so hard for him that he could not carry this burden due to its heaviness, since it was very, very hard and heavy upon him. It was only through the following method that he was able to carry the yoke of his spiritual service. Each day he would think in his mind that he only has this day alone and he would not look at the following day and future at all, as if he only had this one day. Therefore he was able to carry the burden of the spiritual service of that day, since for a single day a person could accept upon himself all existing forms of worship, since it is only for one day. When Rebbe Nachman would finish the worship for that day, then the next day he would repeat this and accept upon himself the spiritual service of that day as well.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
This is how he would act constantly, he would not think in his mind except about that day alone, and through this he was able to carry upon him the burden of his spiritual service that was very heavy upon him. Without this method, he would not have been able to carry it upon him at all, since he would maximize his Avodas Hashem with many forms of worship each day, all of which were done with great effort, toil and great heaviness. So much, that it would not have been possible for him to carry such a yoke were it not for the technique mention above, where he would not think in his mind only regarding that day alone.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Lust is Nauseating </span><br />
Regarding the great level of Rebbe Nachman's holiness and his breaking of the 'Encompassing Lust' that encompasses all the other bad lusts, that is the Lust for Impurity, can not be explained and given over. Rebbe Nachman said that he had countless tests, but in truth these are not tests at all. He said this is not a lust at all and whoever is truthfully wise, even if he is not Jewish, as long as he is truly wise, it is befitting that this lust should not be considered by him a lust at all. He then said, a person that is knowledgeable in the wisdom of biology and knows the organization of the organs according to the wisdom of biology, it is befitting that he should be disgusted by this lust with complete disgust. Regarding the disgustingness of this lust, Rebbe Nachman spoke a lot but I (Rebbe Nason) can not give it over due to the forgetfulness.<br />

As a rule, Rebbe Nachman was greatly repulsed by this lust with complete nauseating, until he declared and said that any person that is somewhat truthfully wise, this lust is not considered a test for him at all. However even before he merited to nullify and become completely disgusted by this lust, before this he had many, many large fearsome tests with this lust, that can not be written over explicitly. Even in his youth, at the time when the blood boils, he had numerous large tests of this lust, where numerous times he had the ability to fulfil his lusts and he was in very, very grave danger. Yet he was a strong warrior and he overcame his evil inclination and subdued his desires endless times.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Still he would not distance himself and run away from the test a second time. Just the opposite, he was interested in tests and used to pray to Hashem that he should expose him to tests, since he was very strong in his mind that he for sure would not rebel against Hashem. For how can it be that he would sin and transgress the will of Hashem unless he would go insane, heaven forbid at that moment. However since he would have some level of sanity at the time of the test, he would for sure be able to pass it, according to the great strength he had in his heart, that he was extremely strong in Hashem. Despite this, at the time he was placed in the actual test, he was in great danger and he would scream a lot to Hashem, until he managed to overcome his evil inclination and was saved. Despite this, he would not distance himself from being exposed to this test a different time, even thought that at the time of the test it was very hard for him as mentioned above. So too this happened many, many countless times that can not be measured. Yet Hashem helped him and he merited to overcome his evil inclination and to nullify his the burning fire of this general lust.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Rebbe Nachman was very, very holy and distant from this lust with great abstinents and awesome holiness. He said the Evil One was willing to leave him alone on everything if he would be willing to give up one thing and he said just the opposite, that he is willing to abandon everything only this one thing he is not willing to stop trying to nullify it. Meaning, the Evil One was willing to let Rebbe Nachman break all the lusts as long as he would be willing to forsake nullifying one of them, most probably the General Lust, which is the main part of the evil inclination. However Rebbe Nachman said the opposite that he is willing to leave all his other lusts and not break them, only this lust he is determined to nullify completely.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
This was how Rebbe Nachman acted in the beginning, all his goals and all his effort were only to first nullify the 'Encompassing Lust'. In the beginning he did not devote any attention to nullifying the 'lust of eating', in fact the opposite, in the beginning he would eat a lot - a lot, much more then other people. He said that at that point he would drag all his lusts into the 'lust of eating'. Afterwards he nullified this 'lust of eating' as well.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Rebbe Nachman had to undergo all types of countless strains, hard work, battles and tests before he nullified the 'Encompassing Lust'. Also there were many, many prayers, pleadings, cries and conversations that he prayed, pleaded and poured his heart out in front of Hashem with all sorts of pleadings, appeasements and beeseachments that Hashem should help save him from this lust. Until he merited to withstand all the tests and he greatly sanctified himself with complete separation from this lust in ways that can not be measured. Until he merited to completely nullify this lust. It then became a wonder to him how any person can consider it hard to nullify this lust, since he said that that it is not a lust at all and. He would talk a lot about this subject, regarding the nullification and disgust of this lust.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
He said: It is not possible to discuss with people that have already physicalized themselves about the nauseation of this lust. Their bloods have become intermingled so much that their minds have become confounded, until they can not comprehend this at all and it does can not enter their heart how it is possible to be disgusted by this desire, therefore it is not possible to talk much about this. However a person that is even a little truthfully wise, can easily become completely disgusted by this desire. As Rebbe Nachman said; that this is not a test at all to a person that is truthfully wise. He then said that there must be a Kabalistic mystery to this, since in truth there is no lust at all. Rebbe Nachman would greatly flaunt his great strength in nullifying this lust. He was very holy and awesome in this subject and said upon himself that he had absolutely no lust at all.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
He said: by him male and female are equivalent. Meaning, he does not have any battle due to any element of an impure thought when he sees or speaks with a woman, since everything is equivalent by him.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Start Again from the Begining </span><br />Rebbe Nachman was accustomed to start each time from the beginning. When he would occasionally fall from his spiritual level, he would not despair from this. Instead he would tell himself that he would restart from the beginning as if he had never started entering the service of Hashem, as if only now he was first starting. So too each and every time, his custom was to start from scratch. He would have a few starts in one day, sometimes even in a single day he would fall from his spiritual service and he would start from the beginning, even few times in a single day.<br /><span class="style2" style="color: #006600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">(Shivchay Haran - His Greatness 6)</span></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Plead and Beseech With Prayers </span><br />The main spiritual techniques through which Rebbe Nachman merited to what he merited was only through excessive prayers, petitions, pleadings, appeasements and requests that he was very accustomed to pray and plead in front of Hashem. He would appease and petition Hashem with numerous types of pleadings and requests that Hashem would merit him in His great mercy and bring him close to His service. The main thing that helped Rebbe Nachman were the prayers that he prayed in Yiddish. He was very accustomed to set aside for himself a place where no people were to be found and he he would converse with Hashem in his native language, Yiddish. He would appease and petition Hashem and would request and plead before Hashem with numerous arguments and reasonings how it was befitting to Hashem to bring him close to His service. Rebbe Nachman was very, very accustomed to doing this and spent months and years doing so.<br /><span class="style2" style="color: #006600; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">(Shivchay Haran - His Greatness 10)</span></div>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Main Thing is Hisbodedute</span><br />Aside from the many formalized prayers that Rebbe Nachman used to pray, the main thing were the prayers that he used to pray from himself. Meaning, his custom to speak from his heart in front of Hashem in Yiddish, where he would pray and argue in front of Hashem with many, many arguments, pleadings and requests, that he composed with his own mind and heart, as mentioned above that Hashem should merit his to His service. This was the main technique that helped Rebbe Nachman to reach the level that he reached.

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Rebbe Nachman's Practices Can Bring All Close to Hashem </span><br />
These practices [brought down in the books of Rebbe Nachman] are holy and precious practices that each and every person can use to come close to Hashem through these practices, as they are customs that are equivalent to all whether a person is big or small. Even the lowest Jew if he wishes to to have mercy on his life and to think about the everlasting purpose and then accustoms himself to go in these channels and paths that are mentioned here [in the books of Rebbe Nachman], will for sure merit the 'Next World' and will be able to reach very high and holy levels like those of high spiritual rank, if he is strong in his mind to hold onto his good path consistently, like a strong peg so he does not fall.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Sometimes Better to Hide Spiritual Levels </span><br />
Even though Rebbe Nachman was already holding on high spiritual levels, during his youth he would outwardly perform many childish actions.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Serve Hashem Secretly</span><br />
As he grew older Rebbe Nachman started entering the Service of Hashem. Yet all his spiritual worship was very very concealed, so much that not a single person knew about him at all since he was very hidden and concealed. All of his spiritual service was done very hiddenly and secretly.<br />

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Serve Hashem With Simplicity</span><br />
In the beginning the bulk of his spiritual service was with great simplicity and without any wisdom at all, just in complete simplicity.<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>(Shivchay Haran - His Greatness 5)</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong><br /></strong></span>

<span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Serve Hashem With Great Effort</span> <span class="top" style="color: #006699; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">and Strength </span><br />
Each and every thing he accomplished was with great effort, major dedication and self sacrifice. There was not a single spiritual practice that came to him easily. Rather each and every spiritual practice came to him only though tremendous effort, where he would strain himself time after time for each and every element of his spiritual service. He had countless ups and downs, thousands and tens of thousands, without count or number.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It was very hard and heavy upon Rebbe Nachman to begin entering the the Service of Hashem and to accept His yoke upon him. Often he would start for a few days, dedicating himself to the Service of Hashem and then he would fall from that. He would then get up and start again and then he would fall again. This repeated itself many times until one time he strengthened himself that he will remain strong in the Service of Hashem forever and he will not pay attention to anything that happens. From then and on his heart became strong in Hashem. Although even afterwards he constantly still had many - many ups and downs, yet from that point on he was strong that he would never stop his Service of Hashem, even though occasionally he has a descent, even then he will strengthen himself in his Service of Hashem to do whatever he could.<br />
