The main point of this sichah is the incredible effectiveness of mesiras moda’ah in avodas Hashem and life in general. As we mentioned above, many sefarim talk about the legitimacy of mesiras moda’ah regarding different aspects of halachah. However, Rebbe Nachman reveals in this sichah that this practice really works in avodas Hashem as well. It is 100% received and accepted in Heaven! Hashem has unbelievable compassion on us. He just wants to see that we’re trying to do our best. The main thing He cares about is our ratzon to do teshuvah, as the Sages say, “The Compassionate One wants our hearts.”
Therefore, our job is to rely on Rebbe Nachman and follow the advice he gives us in this sichah with pure emunah in its effectiveness. We must believe that when we give our movements over to Hashem, this really works. By expressing our intentions to serve Hashem in every way, we’ve fulfilled our obligation to Him, no matter what happens afterwards. By giving over our decisions to the Creator, it is truly considered as if we’ve chosen the right thing. This is the power of mesiras moda’ah (as well as tefillah and hisbodedus), which Rebbe Nachman reveals to us in this sichah.
