[Sichot HaRan 135:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/135:1)

דִּבֵּר עִם אִישׁ אֶחָד שֶׁהָיָה רָחוֹק מֵהַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ מְאֹד. וְאָמַר לוֹ: שֶׁיַּרְגִּיל עַצְמוֹ לְהִתְאַנֵּחַ עַל עִנְיָנוֹ.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
The Rebbe once spoke to a man who was very far from God. He told him that he could help himself by sighing and groaning about his situation.


###### Sichot HaRan 135:2
[Sichot HaRan 135:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/135:2)

וְאָמַר אָז הַתּוֹרָה יֵשׁ הֶבֶל שֶׁנַּעֲשָׂה עַל הָאָרֶץ וְכוּ' (בְּסִימָן ק"ט חֵלֶק רִאשׁוֹן). שֶׁמְּבֹאָר שָׁם שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי אֲנָחָה שֶׁמִּתְאַנְּחִין לָשׁוּב אֵלָיו יִתְבָּרַךְ נִפְסָקִין מֵחֶבֶל הַטֻּמְאָה וְנִתְקַשְּׁרִין לְחֶבֶל דִּקְדֻשָּׁה.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
The Rebbe then revealed a lesson on the verse, “There is an emptiness (*hevel*) to what is done on the earth” (Ecclesiastes 8:14). *Hevel* also means breath or exhalation. When you sigh and groan with desire to return to God, this exhalation (*HeVeL*) breaks the rope (*cheVeL*) of spiritual impurity that binds you and holds you back. You can then be bound up with the holy (see *Likutey Moharan* I, 109).

וְכֵן אָמַר אַחַר־כָּךְ עוֹד כַּמָּה תּוֹרוֹת, עַל אֲנָחָה, שֶׁהִיא יְקָרָה מְאֹד.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
In a number of later lessons, the Rebbe again explained how precious is a person’s sigh (*Likutey Moharan* I, 8:1, 22:4, 56:9).
