The tales of Rav Nachman refer to Kabbalistic ideas, which are things which cannot be explained on this platform. However, I can refer you to a book called "The Seven Beggars & Other Kabbalistic Tales of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov" written by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan zt"l, where there are extensive note and explanations on these issues. See pages 61-63.
