Connect the heart to its point to save it from the shame of fallen desires
In every Israelite there is an extremely precious good point, whose desire is always strong, to do the desire of its Maker, but the (worldly) desires break his heart, and through this his heart is distant from the point. Therefore it is necessary for every person to speak between himself and his Maker, in order to light up the aspect of the point which is in his heart, and through this his uncircumcised heart will be nullified, that is, the bad loves (-affections) which are the heart's disgrace, which break a person's heart [in the aspect of (Psalms 69:21), “disgrace broke my heart” (added from Outpouring of the Soul)]. [See the entry of Tzadik, article 42].
Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman
