הִנֵּה יָדוּעַ, כִּי כָּל מַה שֶּׁחָסֵר לָאָדָם, הֵן בְּרוּחָנִי הֵן בְּגַשְׁמִי, הַחִסָּרוֹן הוּא בְּהַשְּׁכִינָה, שֶׁהוּא בְּחִינַת אֱלֹקִים.

וְזֶהוּ וַתְּחַסְּרֵהוּ – בְּוַדַּאי מְעַט מֵאֱלֹקִים; הַיְנוּ הַחִסָּרוֹן בְּוַדַּאי מֵאֱלֹקִים, הַיְנוּ בְּהַשְּׁכִינָה.

אַךְ כְּשֶׁיֵּדַע זֹאת, שֶׁהַחִסָּרוֹן הוּא לְמַעְלָה וּלְמַטָּה, בְּוַדַּאי יִהְיֶה לוֹ צַעַר גָּדוֹל וְעַצְבוּת, וְלֹא יוּכַל לַעֲבֹד הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ בְּשִׂמְחָה. לְכָךְ צָרִיךְ לְהָשִׁיב לְעַצְמוֹ: מָה אֲנִי וּמֶה חַיַּי, כִּי הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּעַצְמוֹ מְסַפֵּר לִי הַחִסָּרוֹן שֶׁלּוֹ, וְכִי יֵשׁ כָּבוֹד גָּדוֹל מִזֶּה. מִתּוֹךְ כָּךְ בָּא לְשִׂמְחָה גְּדוֹלָה, וְנִתְחַדְּשׁוּ הַמֹּחִין שֶׁלּוֹ. וְזֶהוּ:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
But when a person knows this, that the want is above and below, he will certainly feel great sorrow and sadness, and so will not be able to worship God with joy.
