Likutei Moharan 21:18/ליקוטי מוהר"ן כ״א:י״ח

118. They asked: The intellect has transcendent aspects—i.e. [aspects] which do not enter the inner intellect of a person. The Torah also has transcendent aspects; they encircle the Torah and do not enter into the Torah. And in the category of transcendent aspects, there are those which are encircling and stand before the eyes. It is just that they transcend and do not enter the intellect. And there are those that are concealed. They have not yet come even to the category of transcendent. This is the aspect of pregnancy.

2What can be done so that the transcendent aspects of the Torah enter into the Torah, within, and the transcendent aspects of the intellect enter into the inner intellect? In other words, [what can be done] so that in the first place the transcendent aspects of the Torah will come and be revealed—from concealment to transcendent; and so that afterwards, the transcendent aspects of the Torah will enter within; and so that the transcendent aspects of the intellect, which because of his human shortcomings are impossible for him to comprehend, go from transcendent to immanent? In other words, [what can be done] so that it goes from concealment to transcendent and then the transcendent becomes immanent?

3{This question was asked in the realm that it was asked, and he, [Rebbe Nachman] of blessed memory, gave an answer for it. I heard so explicitly from his holy lips. And then later on, we merited to hear this entire lesson. And now, the answer for the above question and query should be clear to the reader. For the main question is, how are the mentalities brought forth from their concealment? And afterwards, once they are brought forth, how do we merit internalizing the transcendent intellects?

4How one merits to this has all been clearly explained. That is, by means of crying out in Torah and prayer we merit bringing forth the mentalities from their concealment. And by virtue of the holiness of the seven candles—i.e. sanctifying the eyes so as not to look at what is forbidden to observe and so on, as well as sanctifying his mouth, his nose, and his ears, as explained—we merit internalizing the transcendent intellects. The explanation of this matter—its proofs and where these awesome mysteries are hinted at—has all been thoroughly clarified above.

5Happy is he who truly puts his heart into studying them; studying and teaching, keeping, practicing and fulfilling.}
