0:00 The Rebbe of Kotzk, the pillar of truth, says, do not tell the Holy One, blessed be He, the size of your troubles, tell your troubles the greatness of the Holy One, blessed be He. Do you understand what a statement this is. Do not come to the Holy One, blessed be He, and tell Him how many troubles I have, how many troubles. Come the opposite way, come to the Holy One, blessed be He, tell your troubles, what is this trouble, do you know who Hashem, blessed be He, is, what are you at all, I am not afraid of you at all. That is how you reach such a level, and then if you live like that, and you tell your troubles the greatness of Hashem, and you trust in Hashem and you lean your whole self on the Holy One, blessed be He, then

0:31 your picture will look different. But if a person tells the Holy One, blessed be He, the size of his troubles, and he goes with the Holy One, blessed be He, like that, what do you want, that he should have salvation? The Holy One, blessed be He, is a G-d of truth. He took us out of Egypt, He split the sea for us, He is almighty. There is nothing difficult for Him, but the reason is that we are not genuine with Him. We are not clean enough, we do not walk with uprightness of heart.

0:56 How much falsehood is there in the world? Are you aware of the amount of falsehood there is in this world? It is a world whose axles and wheels that move it are falsehood. And there is no truth, and everything goes, and everything... there is no cleanliness today. And when you cleanse yourself, and withdraw, and speak to Hashem, blessed be He, and pray to Him with intention, and cleanse yourself, then you receive His light. And then you can receive a great change in awareness, in perception, in revelation of G-dliness, and even see miracles
