אָמַר: שֶׁכַּמָּה פְּעָמִים צִיֵּר לְעַצְמוֹ עִנְיְנֵי מִיתָה, כְּאִלּוּ הוּא מֵת מַמָּשׁ, עַד שֶׁהִרְגִּישׁ טַעַם מִיתָה מַמָּשׁ.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
The Rebbe said, “Many times I imagined what it would be like to die. I did this to such an extent that I literally sensed the taste of death. It was as if I had actually died.”

גַּם אֲנִי שָׁמַעְתִּי שֶׁאָמַר: שֶׁבִּימֵי נְעוּרָיו הָיָה מְצַיֵּר לְעַצְמוֹ מִיתָתוֹ וְאֵיךְ יִבְכּוּ עָלָיו וְכוּ'. וְצִיֵּר לְעַצְמוֹ הֵיטֵב כָּל עִנְיְנֵי מִיתָה.
