T98 (Tinyana) PNC - Speak Anyway — "Nafshi Yatza'ah be-Dabro" Even When the Heart Is Closed

**Oid amar le-inyan his-chazkus be-hisbodedus u-techinois u-vakashois — ki ha-dibbur yesh lo koach gadol le-oreir es ha-adam, af-al-pi she-nidmeh la-adam she-ein lo lev.** Even when a person *feels he has no leiv* — *af-al-pi-chein, ke-she-yedabber harbeih divrei his'oreirus u-techinois u-vakashois ve-ka-yotzei* — **zehu be-atzmoi she-medabber, hu bechinas his-gallus his'oreirus libo ve-nafsho le-HaShem yisbarach**. *The very act of speaking is the revelation of the awakening of his lev and nefesh*. **Bechinas "nafshi yatza'ah be-dabroi"** (Shir ha-Shirim 5:6): *her soul went out at His speaking* — *ha-dibbur be-atzmoi hu his-gallus ha-nefesh ve-ha-leiv*. The lev is not a *prerequisite* for the dibbur; the dibbur *is* the *yetzi'as ha-nefesh.*

**Push through the closed lev — the heart catches up.** **U-le-fa'mim al-yedei she-yedabber harbeih, af-al-pi she-yih'yeh be-loi lev klal, af-al-pi-chein yavoi achar kach al-yedei zeh le-his'oreirus gadol be-lev va-nefesh.** Through *speaking a lot* — even *be-loi lev klal* — *afterwards*, through the very act, *yavoi le-his'oreirus gadol*. **Ve-ha-kelal — ki ha-dibbur be-atzmoi yesh lo koach gadol.** *The dibbur itself has great power* — even when nothing seems to be moving. **Practical kapsulah for the Yid who picks up this sefer at a dry moment**: *do not wait to feel something before speaking. Begin to speak. Speak for a long time. Even if it is wood. The very wood, in time, catches fire — be-atzmoi.*
