[Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Tefilot/s/Volume%20II/r/10:1)

[עַל־פִּי תּוֹרָה י' - מַה שֶּׁהָעוֹלָם רְחוֹקִים מֵהַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ]
רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, זַכֵּנִי לְיַשֵּׁב דַּעְתִּי הֵיטֵב בְּזֶה הָעוֹלָם בְּזֶה הַגּוּף חִישׁ קַל מְהֵרָה, שֶׁאֶזְכֶּה לְיַשֵּׁב דַּעְתִּי הֵיטֵב הֵיטֵב מָה הַתַּכְלִית וְהַסּוֹף מִכָּל הַתַּאֲווֹת וּמִכָּל עִנְיָנֵי עוֹלָם הַזֶּה,

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
*To Understand God’s Intent, a Person Must be Joyful / Joy is Freedom / A Person Attains Joy When He Sees the Good Within Himself*
A depressed person cannot direct his mind as he wishes. Consequently, it is hard for him to attain a settled awareness regarding the purpose of life and the place of all of the lusts and aspects of this world. As a result, he remains far from God, unable to come close to Him.
Only with joy can a person control his thoughts and settle his mind. That is because joy is the world of freedom. It brings a person out of exile and sets him free.
And a person attains joy when he finds the good within himself — at the very least, the fact that he is Jewish.
**Focusing on the Purpose of This World**
Master of the universe, grant me the ability to settle my mind in this world, in this body, quickly, swiftly and speedily. Let me focus my mind very well on the goal and purpose of all of the desires and matters of this world.

הֵן הַתַּאֲווֹת הַנִּכְנָסוֹת לַגּוּף, הֵן הַתַּאֲווֹת שֶׁחוּץ לַגּוּף כְּמוֹ הַכָּבוֹד וְהַהִתְנַשְּׂאוּת וְהַשִּׂנְאָה וְהַקִּנְאָה וְהַקִּנְטוּר וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּהֵן.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
May this apply both to bodily desires and to non-bodily desires such as the desire for honor and authority, hatred, jealousy, spite, and the like.

כִּי אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ כִּי כָּל הִתְרַחֲקוּתֵנוּ מִמְּךָ הִיא מֵחֲמַת שֶׁאֵין אָנוּ מְיַשְּׁבִין עַצְמֵנוּ כְּלָל,

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
You know that we are very far from You because we do not settle our minds at all.

[Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Tefilot/s/Volume%20II/r/10:5)

כִּי אִם נִזְכֶּה לְיַשֵּׁב דַּעְתֵּנוּ הֵיטֵב בְּעִנְיַן מְרִירוּת חַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה, אֲשֶׁר הוּא מָלֵא כַּעַס וּמַכְאוֹבוֹת, וְכָל הַתַּאֲווֹת וְהַתַּעֲנוּגִים שֶׁל הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה הֵם לְפִי שָׁעָה קַלָּה כְּצֵל עוֹבֵר,

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Who knows what might be if we were to settle our minds in regard to the bitterness of the life of this world, which is filled with anger and pain, and all of whose desires and delights are as brief as a passing shadow?

[Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Tefilot/s/Volume%20II/r/10:6)

וְכֻלָּם מְעֹרָבִים בִּיגוֹנוֹת הַרְבֵּה וּבְצַעַר וִיסּוּרִין וְיָגוֹן וַאֲנָחָה כִּפְלֵי כִּפְלַיִם יוֹתֵר מֵהָעֹנֶג, וְהֶפְסֵדוֹ מְרֻבֶּה מִשְּׂכָרוֹ גַּם בְּעֵת תַּאֲווֹתָיו, וּמִכָּל שֶׁכֵּן בְּאַחֲרִיתוֹ מִיָּד שֶׁהִיא מָרָה כְלַעֲנָה,

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
The world is adulterated with grief, suffering, torments, groans and sighs, which vastly outweigh its pleasures. The loss caused by this world is greater than its rewards, even at the moment that a person is fulfilling his desires — and, how much more, at the end of his life, when this world grows as bitter as wormwood.


###### Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:7
[Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Tefilot/s/Volume%20II/r/10:7)

רֵאשִׁיתוֹ יָגוֹן וַאֲנָחָה, וְאַחֲרִיתוֹ חֹשֶׁךְ וַחֲלַקְלַקּוֹת וַאֲפֵלָה נִדָּחָה, גַּם כָּל יָמָיו כַּעַס וּמַכְאוֹבוֹת הַרְבֵּה וְחָלְיוֹ וָקָצֶף, וּמְאוּמָה לֹא יִשָּׂא בַעֲמָלוֹ.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
This world begins with groans and sighing, and it ends in black vertigo and disorienting darkness. All of a person’s days are filled with anger and a multiplicity of pain, illness and frustration, and he gains nothing from his toil.

[Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Tefilot/s/Volume%20II/r/10:8)

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
It is painfully obvious to anyone with any sort of intelligence that this entire world is vain and empty. As the verse states, “The days of our years come to seventy years — or, if a person is strong, eighty years. But their pride is toil and pain, for [that time] passes swiftly and we fly upward.”


###### Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:9

And King Solomon said, “Vanity of vanities, says Kohelet; vanity of vanities, everything is vanity.”

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
He expresses this thought at length throughout the Book of Ecclesiastes. And other holy texts speak about the great disgrace, foolishness and madness of the vanities and desires of this world, “because everything is vanity and an evilness of spirit”

[Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Tefilot/s/Volume%20II/r/10:11)

וְיוֹתֵר מִזֶּה מְבֹאָר מְאֹד לְמִי שֶׁזּוֹכֶה לְיַשֵׁב דַּעְתּוֹ הֵיטֵב, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב, וְיוֹתֵר מֵהֵמָּה בְּנִי הִזָּהֵר עֲשׂוֹת סְפָרִים הַרְבֵּה אֵין קֵץ וְכוּ'.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
That and more grow clear to a person when he settles his mind well. As the verse states, “My son, take heed of more than [wisdom that has been written], for the making of many books [of instruction] has no end.”


###### Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:12

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Were we able to settle our minds very well, we would certainly return to You with ultimate sincerity, because even in this world we can see that everything is vanity and an evilness of spirit — and how much more clearly will we see this from the vantage point of the World to Come.


###### Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:13
[Likutei Tefilot, Volume II 10:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Tefilot/s/Volume%20II/r/10:13)

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Ultimately, we must return that which we borrowed to You, its Owner. We will return to dust, to a place of maggots and worms, where we will have to give a judgment and accounting for our every deed before the King, the King of kings: the Holy One, blessed be He. Everything will be recalled at that time. Not a single detail will be overlooked.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
What will we do on that day of visitation? What thoughts will we have about You, HaShem? Who will withstand Your wrath? Who will remain standing before Your furious anger? Where will we go with our disgrace? Where will we flee from You?

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**

**Overcoming the Pain of Exile**
Only You know the great, intense, bitter subjugation and exile that my mind suffers at every moment because of the many evil thoughts, distractions and confusions in my heart, which are vain, foolish and crooked.

Thus, we have come to what we have come, done what we have done, transgressed what we have transgressed, blemished what we have blemished, spoiled what we have spoiled, and become distanced as we have become distanced.
