כִּי אָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (ברכות ו:): כְּרוּם זֻלֻּת לִבְנֵי אָדָם – אֵלּוּ דְּבָרִים הָעוֹמְדִים בְּרוּמוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, וּבְנֵי־אָדָם מְזַלְזְלִין בָּהֶם, וּמַאי נִיהוּ תְּפִלָּה. עַל־כֵּן מֵחֲמַת שֶׁכָּל עִסְקוֹ תְּפִלָּה,

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
The matter is related to the teaching of our Sages, of blessed memory: “that which is exalted is degraded by the sons of man” (Psalms 12:9)—these are things which stand at the very summit of the universe, yet people take them lightly (Berakhot 6b). What might that be? *Tefilah* (prayer). Therefore, [people dismissed him,] because everything he did pertained to *tefilah* .

כִּי בְּעִנְיַן תְּפִלָּה הָיָה מַרְבֶּה לְדַבֵּר עִם אֲנָשָׁיו, וְהִזְהִירָם מְאֹד לְהַרְבּוֹת בִּתְפִלָּה וְהִתְבּוֹדְדוּת וְשִׂיחָה בֵּינוֹ לְבֵין קוֹנוֹ, כַּמְבֹאָר בִּסְפָרָיו הַקְּדוֹשִׁים, וְיוֹתֵר מִזֶּה הִרְבָּה לְדַבֵּר עִמָּנוּ וְחִזֵּק אוֹתָנוּ בְּהִתְחַזְּקוּת בְּלִי שִׁעוּר לְהַרְבּוֹת בִּתְפִלָּה וְהִתְבּוֹדְדוּת.

The Rebbe spoke to his followers on the matter of prayer on many occasions. He exhorted them over and over to constantly engage in prayer and *hitbodedut* -conversation with God, as clarified in his holy works. More than this, he gave us endless personal encouragement to engage in much *tefilah* and *hitbodedut* .

עַל־כֵּן בְּנֵי־אָדָם מְזַלְזְלִין בּוֹ וּמְבַזִּין אוֹתוֹ וְחוֹלְקִין עָלָיו, כִּי כָל עִסְקוֹ הוּא תְּפִלָּה, שֶׁהֵם דְּבָרִים הָעוֹמְדִים בְּרוּמוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם וּבְנֵי־אָדָם מְזַלְזְלִין בָּהֶם. וְהָבֵן:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
People therefore dismiss and degrade the Rebbe and raise opposition against him. His entire focus was prayer, which is one of the things which stand at the very summit of the universe, yet people take them lightly. Understand this.
