Likutey Moharan 1 – Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon. (Lesson 003. Recorded 1988-07-17.)
00:00 – Review of first two sections of this Torah.
06:42 – PARAGRAPH 3. Effective Tefilah (prayer) depends on searching for the intelligence in all things. חן – chein – grace – results from focusing on this hidden light. HaShem’s Name >אהיה אשר אהיה – Ekyeh Asher Ekyeh – “I will become what I will become” – Keser – initiates the creative process of תשובה (return to HaShem). Free will is the “Crown of Creation”.
Rabbah bar bar Chanah said: “This wave that can sink a boat looks as if it’s crowned by a spark of white flame – we strike it with a staff engraved with [the words] Ekyeh Asher Ekyeh.”
