The Virtue of Saying Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman 15-19

“Na NaCh NaChMuh NaChMaN MayUman.” This is a melody of single (pashoot), double (cafool), triple (mishoolush), fourfold (miroovuh), with the ten letters of the name, “Na Nach” – “Na NaCh NaChMa NaChMaN,” this is ten letters, ten letters correlating the ten types of melody that he revealed for the rectification of the bris (-circumcision, covenant), “teekoon ha’kla’lee (-general/comprehensive rectification)”, ten types of melody, ten chapters of Psalms.[1]

(Sichos Saba 28a)

There still had never been such a signature, and not in the life of Rabbainu, it was just revealed in this Petek, a new revelation! That he, he is the song that will be revealed in the future: single (pashoot), double (cafool), triple (mishoolush), fourfold (miroovuh) – “Na NaCh NaChMuh NaChMaN MayUman.” This is a new revelation! This… the redemption, the entire redemption is contingent on it!

If it was we who said this, then what? What? Who are we? What? I say it is like this, and someone else says it like this (-a different way), yes, but what Rabbainu Hakadosh revealed is still not a drop in the ocean, he made known just a little which retains the many, just a little, a bit, a drop of the ocean of his greatness. For he knew how we need him, his every single word, in order to be acquainted (/recognize) Hashem Yisburach, and to merit to fear of Heaven, and faith, and truth, yes, there will be a new world!

(Sichos Saba 31)

17

And through faith one merits to the future renewal of the world, and then there will arouse the aforementioned new song, and this is (what is says about Moses): “and he jumped up ten cubits,” this is the aspect of the future song[2] which is a song which is single (pashoot) etc., which is ten letters, the aspect of ten cubits.

[Visitor: But Saba should reveal to us the secret of this.] The secret? [visitor: we don’t understand the secret.] The secret is… it is possible to understand that Rabbainu Hakados reveals… there is in the Zohar (Tikun 21), in Likutay Moharan (volume 1 Torah 49, volume 2 Torah 8), that there is a song that (it) will return the entire world to Hashem Yisburach and to the Torah, through this song. So Rabbainu reveals that he is this song – “Na Nach Nachma Nachman.” This song is: single (pashoot), double (cufool), triple (mishoolush), quadruple (miroovuh). “Na” this is single (pashoot), “NaCh” – double (cufool), “NaChMuh” – triple (mishoolush), “NaChMaN” – quadruple (miroovuh). And also it has ten letters, “Na NaCh NaChMuh NaChMaN,” this is ten letters, this corresponds the ten types of melodies that he revealed, this being propitious (-a segula) for (-to save from) defection of the bris (-covenant, circumcision), this is the “Teekoon Haklalee (-general/comprehensive rectification),” ten types of melody.

(Sichos Saba 28a)

19

[Visitor: The world (-everyone) has to say “Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman”? They have to say this? What will draw them close to Rabbainu?] This… it is necessary to understand that this is propitious (-a segula), because he is the root of the redemption, and he is the root of all the souls of Israel, and he is the general aggregate of the entire Torah and all the tzadikim that were from the creation of the world, he is (-portrays, reflects, represents) Moshe Rabbainu, he is Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, he is all the tzadikim. The choice of the creation!

(Sichos Saba 12b)[3]

Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman!

[1] See the wording of the “hiskashrus” (-bonding – to Rabbainu) printed in many publications before the Tikun Haklali which is based on the prayer of Rabbi Nussun: “and in their (-the ten Psalms) merit and their power I should merit to reveal all the ten types of melody etc. which are the song which is single, double, triple, fourfold etc..” Thus we learn that the ten Psalms of the Tikun Haklali are really only the way to reveal the actual song of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman.

[2] Rabbainu explained that music is composed of up and downs, hence jumping can allude to music.

[3] See more regarding the utter magnitude of his greatness, and what he testified about himself, what no one born of woman merited to, in the book The Life of Our Leader Rabbi Nachman, in the sections regarding “The Greatness of the Awesomeness of His Conception/Attainment,” and “The Virtue/Height of His Torah,”and comprehend a little from afar if you have the mental faculty.

The Virtue of Saying Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman - and the great level Rabbi Nachman attained

(This article is not so relevant to the subject matter)

I heard in his (Rabbi Nachman’s) name that he said, that he attained “yecheeduh[1]” (-the 5^th and highest level of the soul) in its utmost supernal level[2]. Because it is known that the “nefesh[3]” (lowest level of the soul) of the “neshumuh[4]” (3^rd level) is higher than the “yecheeduh” of the “ruach[5]” (-the second level of the soul), and similarly with all of them[6]; and he attained “yecheeduh” in its utmost supernal level (-yecheeduh of yecheeduh)[7]. And he said: “It comes out, that I know ‘a little’, and I stand on a lofty level, nevertheless I still want more, because who knows, perhaps there is yet ‘higher above higher (Ecclesiastes 5:7)’ until no end (-infinitely) etc. etc..

(The Life of Our Leader Rabbi Nachman 267)

Once, he lifted his hands until his shoulders and he lowered them from his shoulders downwards, and he said, “All the tzadikim are by me from here to here,” that is, from his shoulders down[8], and afterwards he lifted his hand(s) above his head and lowered them from there close to his head until his shoulders, and he, “and I am from here till (here),” that is, from the head until the shoulders, and the matter is primal/esoteric. And look in the writings of the Arizal, and comprehend (this), if you have the mental faculty (“eyes) to understand from there[9] the greatness of man when he merits to do the will of his Creator until he completes the tzelem Elokeem (-image of Gd) perfectly.

(The Life of Our Leader Rabbi Nachman 266).

He (Rabbi Nachman) said: I will sing a song of the future which will be the Oalum Habuh (-future world, reward) of all the tzadikim and chasidim (-pious).

Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman!

[1] “Yecheeduh” literally means single, sole, solitary, because this part of the soul is completely one with the One G-d.

[2] Every soul has five general levels, and each level as well has these five levels on its own scale.

[3] The “nefesh” resides in the liver and blood, as it is the life force of the body.

[4] “Neshumuh” resides in brain and intellect, and it is the highest level of the regular levels of the soul, because the two above it are “makeefeem” - peripheries. Neshumuh has the same root as breath, for it is like a breath directly from the mouth of G-d so to speak.

[5] “Ruach” means spirit, and it resides in the heart, and fluctuates between the lower nefesh and the higher neshumuh, hence the name – ruach-spirit.

[6] Every level of the 5 levels of the soul, also has five levels, and the highest level of each level is still lower than the lowest level of the level above it.

[7] This is a very enigmatic revelation, because according to the Arizal, even the Messiah will only attain such a level after the complete redemption, and according to the Zohar, were such a high level of the soul to be in the world, it would dramatically change the entire world. Therefore great Kabbalists admitted they didn’t understand what Rabbi Nachman meant, and we take his words on faith until we merit to understand them.

[8] See Samuel 1:9:2, and see Tractate Niddah end of 24b.

[9] The difference between the head and the rest of the body is enormous, for all thought and intelligence is almost exclusively in the head, as well as all of the senses other than touch.
