Understanding a quote from Rebbe Nahman
Question
Rebbe Nahman from Breslev said If you believe breaking is possible, believe fixing is possible
why rabbi did not use the word "know" instead of believe?
Answer
ב"ה
Shalom,
It seems to me that the simple explanation is that the entire passage place an emphasis on belief and in no way to despair.
See Quote:
ספר ליקוטי הלכות או"ח - הלכות משא ומתן הלכה ד:
וּכְמוֹ שֶׁאָמַר רַבֵּנוּ זִכְרוֹנוֹ לִבְרָכָה לְאֶחָד שֶׁנָּפַל בְּדַעְתּוֹ מְאֹד. עָנָה וְאָמַר לוֹ, אִם אַתָּה מַאֲמִין שֶׁיְּכוֹלִין לְקַלְקֵל תַּאֲמִין שֶׁיְּכוֹלִין לְתַקֵּן. וּכְבָר מְבֹאָר בִּדְבָרֵינוּ אֲלָפִים פְּעָמִים שֶׁאֵין שׁוּם יֵאוּשׁ בָּעוֹלָם כְּלָל. וְהָעִקָּר הוּא הָאֱמוּנָה כַּנַּ"ל, כִּי כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ אֱמוּנָה בְּהַשְׁגָּחָתוֹ יִתְבָּרַךְ בִּשְׁלֵמוּת
All the best
