עוֹד שָׁמַעְתִּי בִּשְׁמוֹ לְעִנְיַן מַעֲלַת הַשִּׂיחָה בֵּינוֹ לְבֵין קוֹנוֹ, שֶׁאָמַר שֶׁעַל תְּפִלּוֹת וּתְחִנּוֹת וּבַקָּשׁוֹת הַסְּדוּרוֹת מִכְּבָר, כְּבָר יוֹדְעִין מֵהֶם כָּל הַמְחַבְּלִים וְהַמְקַטְרְגִים, וְהֵם אוֹרְבִים עַל הַדְּרָכִים שֶׁל אֵלּוּ הַתְּפִלּוֹת, מֵחֲמַת שֶׁיּוֹדְעִים מֵהֶם מִכְּבָר.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
I heard another thing in Rebbe Nachman’s name regarding the value of conversation with God. He said: All the damagers and accusers already know about the formal prayers, supplications and entreaties. They lie in wait on the routes of these prayers, because they are already familiar with them.

כְּמוֹ, לְמָשָׁל, עַל הַדֶּרֶךְ הַכְּבוּשָׁה, הַיָּדוּעַ וּמְפֻרְסָם לַכֹּל, שָׁם אוֹרְבִים רוֹצְחִים וְגַזְלָנִים תָּמִיד, מֵחֲמַת שֶׁיּוֹדְעִים מִדֶּרֶךְ זֶה כְּבָר. אֲבָל כְּשֶׁהוֹלְכִין בְּנָתִיב וְדֶרֶךְ חָדָשׁ, שֶׁאֵינוֹ נוֹדָע עֲדַיִן, שָׁם אֵינָם יוֹדְעִים לֶאֱרֹב שָׁם כְּלָל.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This can be likened to murderers and thieves, who always lurk on well-traveled public thoroughfares because these roads are already known to them. But when a person travels via a new path or route, one as yet unknown, it does not at all occur to them to set their ambush there.

כְּמוֹ־כֵן לָעִנְיָן הַנַּ"ל, כִּי הַשִּׂיחָה שֶׁמְּדַבֵּר הָאָדָם עַצְמוֹ בֵּינוֹ לְבֵין קוֹנוֹ, הוּא דֶּרֶךְ חָדָשׁ וּתְפִלָּה חֲדָשָׁה, שֶׁהָאָדָם אוֹמְרָהּ מִלִּבּוֹ מֵחָדָשׁ, עַל־כֵּן אֵין הַמְקַטְרְגִים מְצוּיִים כָּל־כָּךְ לֶאֱרֹב.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
It is the same with the aforementioned matter. A person’s private conversation with God is a new pathway and a new prayer, which he utters from his heart anew. Consequently, it is uncommon for the accusers to lie in wait there.

וְאַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן הִזְהִיר מְאֹד גַּם עַל אֲמִירַת שְׁאָר תְּחִנּוֹת וּבַקָּשׁוֹת, כַּמְבֹאָר בִּדְבָרֵינוּ כַּמָּה פְּעָמִים:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Even so, the Rebbe cautioned about also reciting the other supplications and entreaties, as is explained many times in our teachings.
