I heard it said in Rebbe Nachman’s name that on those occasions which a person has a thought of repentance or a yearning for God in a certain place, there, right in that place, he should reinforce that thought of repentance or that yearning. For example, he should recite there some words of supplication and entreaty, or utter words of heartfelt yearning as the matter calls for. He should not wait or budge from where he is, even if the site is inappropriate for it, as, for instance, a place not dedicated to Torah and prayer, but where he just happens to be walking, or the like. The reason is that should he move from his place, it may cease.

We saw such behavior numerous times from the Rebbe himself, of blessed memory. There were occasions when he would remain standing in the middle of the house to speak with us. He would reveal a wonderful Torah lesson or engage in a very beautiful conversation, and disclose marvelous ways to serve God and reach great spiritual inspiration, etc. And he was unwilling to move from his place until he had completed what he wanted. This happened numerous times.
