אות-י

When praying, as long as a person still hears someone (then), that is, that while he is praying, he hears and senses that another person is also standing there, this is not good. Because every person when praying needs to picture in his mind that there is no one there except I and Hashem Yisburach alone. And in Likutay Moharan (vol. 1, Torah 55:6) it is clarified even further, that a person must abnegate himself while praying, so much so, that he doesn't even retain any awareness of himself whatsoever, just of Hashem Yisburach alone, see there. (Likutay Moharan vol. 2., Torah 103).
