#RebNachmanTeachings #Breslov #Happiness
Long ago, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov had recognized Simcha as the key to success in religion and coming truly close to HaShem. In stressing the importance of Simcha he went so far as saying that depression - the antithesis of Simcha - constitutes "the main bite of the serpent (the Yetzer Harah)". How far should a person struggle to remain steadfast and avoid depression? The lesson is best illustrated by the following story Rabbi Nachman told to his disciples:

"But what is the antidote for the person who feels so heavy, so depressed, that no words of encouragement or advice have any effect?"
Our holy master Rebbe Nachman says, “You cannot live without joy. You can exist – but live? You cannot serve G-d without joy. You cannot do anything without joy.”

Rebbe Nachman says that if I am really, really filled with joy, then the smallest good and holy thing, which I see in another human being, blows my mind.

You have to know that all the evil in the world is focused on dragging out the joy from your heart. Because the moment evil drags out the joy from your heart, it is the winner.

You can be the holiest creature in the world, but the moment you are sad you don’t have the strength for the slightest test in life.

Rebbe Nachman asks, “What is so bad about being sad?” He answers, “When you are sad, then you have no control over your mind. If you have no control over your mind, then you can’t get your mind to settle down and think straight.”
