The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Lazer Brody’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

I lie. I I [music and singing] I [music and singing] [music] so Rabi is going to teach us tonight that when we're faced with a difficult challenge like climbing up a mountain that progress should be step by step and where safety overrides speed. But you have to be agile. Keep on going all the time. All the time trying. But each step we make high is a great achievement. It's not necessarily the speed. And serving Shem is no different that we gain in our service of Hashem. Little by little, add on little by little. But the important thing is all the time to make forward progress. Okay. So we open up discourse 27 as in my custom. First I say it over in Hebrew because this is my own translation. The way I understand Rabbi Nakman, the way we interpret Rabbi Nakman according to the uh classic interpretations of uh Rabbi Nakman's writings especially by his student Rabbi. verse in discourse 27 if you're following along in Hebrew says even a person has to be very very agile and it's with the jack be nimble very very nimble and agile in serving Hashem even though it sounds like you got to be quick but that's not exactly what it means it means but you're enthusiastic uh we have to be said
