Poem of yearning and obstacles of Likutay Moharan Torah-teaching 66 by Eliyahu Mahgerefteh

Likutei Moharan Torah 66- Cheshek

With so much thirsting for a Mitzvah (good deed), it comes from an obstacle-Menia (obstacle)

When a Jew needs to do something, the menia is Mazminin (prepared)

Like traveling to the Tzaddik (righteous one) see, on this depends our religion spree

All this is meant to awaken, a stronger desire to fulfill it

Bc through this hurdle, comes a stronger desire unheard of

Like showing a kid a candy, getting him to get all rowdy

So too they send obstacles for Mitzvot, to elicit a desirous antidote

A prayer on this concept, to get to the Tzaddik without duress

To overcome all spiritual barriers, and get to them with happiness 

Na Nach
