שָׁמַעְתִּי מֵאֶחָד, שֶׁהִזְהִיר אוֹתוֹ, שֶׁיִּשְׁתַּדֵּל לְעַיֵּן בְּתוֹרָתוֹ, וְיִרְאֶה לְחַדֵּשׁ בְּתוֹרָתוֹ אֵיזֶה דָּבָר, (כַּאֲשֶׁר הִזְהִיר עַל זֶה לְכַמָּה וְכַמָּה מֵאֲנָשָׁיו).

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
I heard from one of Rebbe Nachman’s followers that the Rebbe exhorted him to study his Torah lessons deeply and endeavor to produce some original idea {just as he exhorted many of his followers}.

וְאָמַר לוֹ: אִם תִּזְכֶּה לְכַוֵּן אֶל תֹּכֶן כַּוָּנָתִי בְּתוֹרָתִי – מַה טּוֹב, וַאֲפִלּוּ אִם לֹא תּוּכַל לְכַוֵּן כַּוָּנָתִי, אַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן טוֹב מְאֹד כְּשֶׁזּוֹכִין לְחַדֵּשׁ אֵיזֶה דָּבָר בַּתּוֹרָה, כִּי הוּא תִּקּוּן גָּדוֹל לְהִרְהוּרִים. כִּי כָל הַהִרְהוּרִים בָּאִים עַל־יְדֵי כֹּחַ הַמְדַמֶּה, וְעַל־יְדֵי שֶׁמְּחַדְּשִׁין אֵיזֶה דָּבָר בַּתּוֹרָה, שֶׁזֶּהוּ בְּחִינַת מְדַמֶּה מִלְּתָא לְמִלְּתָא, עַל־יְדֵי־זֶה מְתַקְּנִין פְּגַם הַהִרְהוּרִים שֶׁבָּאִין עַל־יְדֵי הַמְדַמֶּה:

And the Rebbe said to him: If you merit ascertaining the substance of what I intended with my lesson, good. But even if you cannot ascertain my intention, it is still very good when you merit originating something in Torah, because it is a great remedy for immoral thoughts. This is because all immoral thoughts are the product of the *medameh* (imagination). Thus, by originating something in Torah—which is the concept of *medameh* (likening) one thing to another—one rectifies the blemish caused by the immoral thoughts which stem from the imagination.

גַּם אָנֹכִי בְּעַצְמִי שָׁמַעְתִּי מִפִּיו הַקָּדוֹשׁ כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה פְּעָמִים, שֶׁהִזְהִיר מְאֹד לְחַדֵּשׁ בַּתּוֹרָה, וְאָמַר שֶׁהוּא תִּקּוּן גָּדוֹל מְאֹד מְאֹד עַל הֶעָבָר. וְאָמַר שֶׁאֲפִלּוּ דִּבּוּר אֶחָד לְבַד כְּשֶׁזּוֹכִין לְחַדֵּשׁ, הוּא גַּם־כֵּן טוֹב מְאֹד, כִּי הוּא תִּקּוּן גָּדוֹל מְאֹד.

I, myself, heard this from the Rebbe’s holy mouth many, many times. He greatly stressed originating [insights] in Torah, saying that it was a very, very great rectification for the past. He said, too, that articulating even just a single original idea is also very good, because it is a very great remedy.

גַּם אָמַר שֶׁהוּא טוֹבָה לְנִשְׁמַת אֲבוֹתָיו שֶׁכְּבָר נִסְתַּלְּקוּ:

He also said that it is a favor for the souls of one’s forebears who have already passed on.
