בתפלה בלחש כשהוא מדבק עצמו למעלה אז זוכה ומעלין אותו יותר למעלה באותה תפלה כמ"ש רז"ל הבא לטהר מסייעין אותו וע"י התפלה זו זוכה שידבק במחשבתו למעלה. ומכח זה יוכל לבא עוד למדריגה יותר גדולה אפילו שלא בשעת התפלה שיהא דבוק למעלה:

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
If a person bonds himself to *HaShem*above during the silent prayer,⁵⁷ silent prayer also called the *Amidah*-standing prayer. he could then merit to be elevated even higher during that prayer, as our sages, of blessed memory, taught,⁵⁸ “One who comes to purify himself is granted assistance.” Thus, through the strength of this prayer, in which he merits to attain adhesion of thought to *HaShem* above, he can merit to attain an even greater level, which is to be in a state of adhesion-*Dveikut*to *HaShem*above, even while not engaged in prayer.
