Rabbi Nachman’s – Sayings & Teachings – From The Essential Rabbi Nachman
A treasury of sayings, teachings, parables and stories by the outstanding Chassidic sage, mystic and visionary, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810), whose message of faith, hope, courage, simplicity and joy is essential to each one of us and essential to the whole world.
Translated by Avraham Greenbaum
KNOWING G-D – G-d is in everything
The whole earth is full of G-d’s glory. No place is devoid of G-d, Who fills all the worlds and transcends all the worlds.
Therefore even one whose occupation involves contact with non-believers cannot excuse himself from serving G-d on account of being constantly surrounded by gross materialism. G-dliness can be found everywhere, in all material things and even in the languages of the nations. Without G-dliness they could not exist or endure at all. It is just that as the levels descend, G-dliness becomes increasingly “contracted” and veiled in many garments.
Accordingly, even if you are sunk in the very lair of evil on the lowest of all levels, even if you believe you are so far from G-d that it is impossible for you to draw closer, you can still find G-dliness in the very place to which you have sunk. There too you can attach yourself to Him and repent with all your heart. Even there, G-d is not far away. It is just that the veils are thicker.
Likutey Moharan I, 33
Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
“It is a great mitzvah to be happy.”

Azamra means “I will sing” (Psalms 146:2)
“And the way to sing the song of joy is by seeking the good in all people, especially in ourselves. Each good point is one more note in the song of life!”
