בְּעִנְיַן בְּנֵי־אָדָם שֶׁרוֹצִים וּמְכִינִים עַצְמָן כַּמָּה פְּעָמִים לִנְסֹעַ לְצַדִּיק הָאֱמֶת, וְאַחַר־כָּךְ יֵשׁ לָהֶם מְנִיעוֹת, וְנִמְנָעִים –

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Concerning those people who want to travel to the true tzaddik and prepare themselves again and again [to do so,] but afterwards encounter obstacles and so desist…

דַּע, כִּי שַׁבָּת הִיא נְקֻדָּה הַפְּנִימִיוּת, וּמִמֶּנָּהּ יוֹנְקִים כָּל הַשִּׁשָּׁה יָמִים, שֶׁהֵם בְּחִינַת הָעִגּוּלִים סְבִיב הַנְּקֻדָּה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב בַּזֹּהַר (ויקהל דף רד.) וְכַמּוּבָא.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Know! Shabbat is the inner point. From it, all six weekdays draw sustenance. They are the concept of the circles around the point, as is written in the *Zohar* (II, 204a) and as is brought.

וְהַקְּלִפּוֹת מוֹלִיכִין אֶת הָרְשָׁעִים סְבִיב הַנְּקֻדָּה, בִּבְחִינַת (תהלים יב): סָבִיב רְשָׁעִים יִתְהַלָּכוּן, וְאֵינָם מַנִּיחִים אוֹתָם לְהִתְקָרֵב לִפְנִים אֶל הַנְּקֻדָּה הַפְּנִימִית, וְכָל זְמַן שֶׁהֵם עֲדַיִן בְּתוֹךְ הָעִגּוּלִים, עֲדַיִן יֵשׁ לָהֶם תִּקְוָה לְהִתְקָרֵב. אֲפִלּוּ פּוֹשְׁעֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, כָּל זְמַן שֶׁלֹּא יָצָא מִן הָעִגּוּלִים לְגַמְרֵי, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, עֲדַיִן יֵשׁ לוֹ תִּקְוָה לְהִתְקָרֵב אֶל הַנְּקֻדָּה הַפְּנִימִיוּת, אֲבָל מִי שֶׁכְּבָר יָצָא לְגַמְרֵי, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, מִן הָעִגּוּלִים, כְּגוֹן מְשֻׁמָּדִים, אֲזַי אִי אֶפְשָׁר לוֹ לְהִתְקָרֵב כְּלָל.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
The forces of evil lead the wicked around the point, as in “The wicked go round about” (Psalms 12:9), preventing them from coming close to the inside, to the inner point. Now, as long as they are inside the circles, they still have hope of getting close. Even a Jewish sinner—as long as he has not gone out from the circles altogether, God forbid, he still has hope of getting close to the inner point. But someone who has already gone out completely from the circles, God forbid, such as an apostate, cannot possibly get close at all.

וְהַצַּדִּיק הוּא בְּחִינַת שַׁבָּת, בְּחִינַת הַנְּקֻדָּה פְּנִימִיוּת, שֶׁמִּמֶּנּוּ יוֹנְקִים הַכֹּל, כַּמּוּבָא:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
And the tzaddik is the concept of Shabbat, the concept of the inner circle from which everything draws sustenance, as is brought.
