וְאָמַר: שֶׁהוּא עָנָו בְּתַכְלִית הָעֲנִיווּת בְּכָל הָאֵיבָרִים.

Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973

The Rebbe said, “I have banished pride from every part of my body.”

כִּי יֵשׁ אֶחָד שֶׁהוּא עָנָו וְאֵין הָעֲנָוָה בַּלֵּב, וְיֵשׁ שֶׁהוּא עָנָו וְאֵין הָעֲנָוָה מַגִּיעַ בְּאֵיזֶה אֵיבָר. אֲבָל אֶצְלוֹ הָעֲנָוָה בְּתַכְלִית בְּכָל הָאֵיבָרִים כִּי לִבּוֹ וְכָל אֵיבָרָיו הֵם בְּתַכְלִית הַבִּטּוּל.

Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973

There are some people who are humble, but still have a trace of pride in their hearts. Others have discarded all vanity from their bodies, but still have a vestige in an arm or a leg. The Rebbe attained absolute humility in every part of his body. His heart and his limbs were absolutely nullified.
