Likutei Moharan 145/ליקוטי מוהר"ן קמ״ה

1A man does not die with ChaTZi (half)…. (Kohelet Rabbah 1:13)

2This is the concept of strife. Similarly, “they attacked him… masters of ChiTZim” (Genesis 49:23)—Onkelos translates: “masters of strife.”

3But when someone restrains his desire for strife, it is certainly like he “does not die.” As David requested (Psalms 61:5), “May I dwell in Your Tent forever.” [On this the Talmud asks:] Is it possible to reside in two worlds? However, [he wanted] them to quote him in matters of Halakhah (Yevamot 96b). Then, it would be as if he had not died.

4However, as a result of strife, we find that they did not repeat the halakhah in their name. [Instead, the law is credited anonymously,] as in, “others” or “there are those who say.”
