אות-כב

Take the time to settle yourself and take stock everyday One must have great merit, for him to merit, to settle himself one hour a day, and for him to have regret for that which necessitates regret, because not everyone merits to this, for the day passes and whisks by him and he doesn't have the opportunity to settle himself even one time in all the days of his life. Therefore it is necessary to rise and take charge, to see to commit time for himself to settle himself well, concerning all his action which he does in this world, if it is appropriate for him to spend his days in such a fashion, with this conduct.

(Words of Rabbi Nachman, article 47). [And see in the book “Nachas HaShulchan” (Savoring the Table- Code of Jewish Law), handwritten manuscript of the holy Rav of Tcherin o.b.m., in the laws of passover, where he explains that the main insurrection of the other (-evil) side is to blind a persons eyes so that he does not give any contemplation whatsoever to his ways, in the aspect of (Proverbs 18:3), “A fool does not desire understanding etc..” However, immediately when there is an awakening of the power and the radiance of the neshama (-soul), which is the aspect of the light of the candle, the aspect of (Proverbs 20:27), “The candle of Hashem is the neshama of a person (searching all the chambers of the innards),” and he begins to examine his actions and to contemplate his ways, then (Avoda Zura 55a), one who comes to purify himself (from above) they help him, and a little light repels a lot of darkness (Tzaidah LaDerech 12). And this is what we make the blessing on the obliteration of chumetz (-leaven and foods which were fermented, which must be eradicated before Passover) at the time of the bedika (-the search for chumetz the night before Passover, all the chumetz found is destroyed the next morning, yet the blessing on the destruction is made before the search), because the very bedika (-search, examination) for the chumetz (which is a construct of the evil inclination), that is, when one begins to search and examine his actions, this itself is already the beginning of the obliteration].
