עוֹד אָמַר לְעִנְיַן הִתְבּוֹדְדוּת, שֶׁהָיָה דַּרְכּוֹ זַ"ל לְזָרֵז מְאֹד בָּזֶה לִהְיוֹת רָגִיל מְאֹד בְּהִתְבּוֹדְדוּת, לְפָרֵשׁ שִׂיחָתוֹ לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ בְּכָל יוֹם וָיוֹם.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Rebbe Nachman said more on the topic of *hitbodedut*. The Rebbe, of blessed memory, avidly encouraged the regular practice of *hitbodedut,* speaking with God each and every day.

וְאָמַר: שֶׁאֲפִלּוּ כְּשֶׁאֵין יְכוֹלִין לְדַבֵּר כְּלָל, אֲפִלּוּ כְּשֶׁמְּדַבְּרִין רַק דִּבּוּר אֶחָד, גַּם־כֵּן טוֹב מְאֹד.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
He said: Even when one cannot speak at all, or says only a single thing—it is also very good!

וְאָמַר: שֶׁאֲפִלּוּ אִם אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְדַבֵּר רַק דִּבּוּר אֶחָד, יִהְיֶה חָזָק בְּדַעְתּוֹ, וִידַבֵּר אוֹתוֹ הַדִּבּוּר כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה פְּעָמִים בְּלִי שִׁעוּר וָעֵרֶךְ, וַאֲפִלּוּ אִם יְבַלֶּה כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה יָמִים בְּדִּבּוּר זֶה לְבַד גַּם זֶה טוֹב. וְיִהְיֶה חָזָק וְאַמִּיץ, וְיַרְבֶּה לְדַבֵּר אוֹתוֹ הַדִּבּוּר פְּעָמִים אֵין מִסְפָּר, עַד שֶׁיְּרַחֵם עָלָיו הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ, וְיִפְתַּח פִּיו, וְיוּכַל לְפָרֵשׁ שִׂיחָתוֹ:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
He also said: Even if a person can only say one thing, he should be resolute and say that thing over and over again, endlessly. And even if he spends many, many days saying nothing but this thing—that, too, is good! He should be strong and courageous, and continue to say that thing countless times until God takes pity on him and opens his mouth, enabling him to elaborate his words.

וְאָמַר, שֶׁהַדִּבּוּר יֵשׁ לוֹ כֹּחַ גָּדוֹל מְאֹד, כִּי הֲלֹא יְכוֹלִין לִלְחֹשׁ עַל קְנֵה־שְׂרֵפָה שֶׁלֹּא תּוּכַל לִירוֹת. וְהָבֵן.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
The Rebbe also said: The spoken word is very powerful. Why, with a whisper it is possible to prevent a gun from firing. Understand this.

וְאָז כְּשֶׁדִּבֵּר מִזֶּה, דִּבֵּר הַרְבֵּה מֵהִתְבּוֹדְדוּת, וְהֶאֱרִיךְ מְאֹד בְּשִׂיחָה נִפְלָאָה בְּכַמָּה מִינֵי לְשׁוֹנוֹת, וְחִזֵּק אוֹתָנוּ וְזֵרֵז אוֹתָנוּ מְאֹד מְאֹד בָּזֶה, לְהִתְחַזֵּק לְהַרְבּוֹת בְּהִתְבּוֹדְדוּת וְשִׂיחָה בֵּינוֹ לְבֵין קוֹנוֹ.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
At the time he spoke about this, he spoke a great deal about *hitbodedut.* He went on for a long while, with an amazing discussion that took many different approaches. He encouraged and exhorted us tremendously in this—that we be strong and practice much *hitbodedut* -conversation with God.

וְאָמַר: שֶׁרְצוֹנוֹ שֶׁיִּהְיֶה לָנוּ כָּל הַיּוֹם כֻּלּוֹ הִתְבּוֹדְדוּת, וּלְבַלּוֹת כָּל הַיּוֹם עַל זֶה, אַךְ לָאו כָּל אָדָם יָכוֹל לְקַיֵּם זֹאת. עַל־כֵּן בְּהֶכְרֵחַ לְצַוּוֹת לָהֶם שֶׁיִּהְיֶה לָהֶם עַל־כָּל־פָּנִים אֵיזֶה שָׁעָה הִתְבּוֹדְדוּת, כִּי גַּם זֶה טוֹב מְאֹד.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
He also said he wanted for us that the whole day be entirely *hitbodedut*, that we should spend the entire day on it. However, not everyone is capable of this, and so he was forced to instruct people to practice *hitbodedut* at least some part of the day. This, too, is very good!

אֲבָל מִי שֶׁלִּבּוֹ חָזָק בַּה', וְרוֹצֶה לְקַבֵּל עָלָיו עֹל עֲבוֹדָתוֹ יִתְבָּרַךְ בֶּאֱמֶת, רְצוֹנוֹ שֶׁיִּהְיֶה לוֹ כָּל הַיּוֹם הִתְבּוֹדְדוּת. וְהִזְכִּיר אָז מַאֲמַר חֲכָמֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (ברכות כא): וּלְוַאי שֶׁיִּתְפַּלֵּל אָדָם כָּל הַיּוֹם כֻּלּוֹ:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Nevertheless, anyone whose heart is firmly committed to God and honestly wishes to accept upon himself the yoke of Divine service, the Rebbe wanted for him that the whole day be *hitbodedut*. He mentioned then the statement of our Sages, of blessed memory: Would that a person pray all day long (Berakhot 21a).
