Likutei Moharan 251:2/ליקוטי מוהר"ן רנ״א:ב׳

אוְדַע, שֶׁאִישׁ אֱמֶת, דְּהַיְנוּ שֶׁעוֹשֶׂה מִצְווֹת בִּשְׁלֵמוּת וּבְכָל הַדִּקְדּוּקִים בֵּינוֹ לְבֵין קוֹנוֹ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁמְּדַקְדֵּק לַעֲשׂוֹת הַמִּצְוָה בִּפְנֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם, שֶׁזֶּה בְּחִינַת אֱמֶת, שֶׁהַכֹּל אֶחָד אֶצְלוֹ, בֵּין כְּשֶׁעוֹשֶׂה מִצְוָה לִפְנֵי ה' וּבֵין כְּשֶׁעוֹשֶׂה בִּפְנֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם – זֶה הָאִישׁ הָאֱמֶת, יֵשׁ לוֹ כֹּחַ לְהַמְשִׁיךְ לְעַצְמוֹ כָּל הַצְּדָקוֹת, כִּי אֵלּוּ הַצְּדָקוֹת הַנַּ"ל שֶׁהֵם עוֹשִׂין, הִיא עוֹמֶדֶת רְחוֹקָה מֵהֶם וְאֵינָהּ אֶצְלָם, כִּי דֶּרֶךְ הַצְּדָקָה לִמְשֹׁךְ עַצְמָהּ לָאֱמֶת, וּמֵחֲמַת שֶׁהֵם רְחוֹקִים מֵאֱמֶת, הַצְּדָקָה רְחוֹקָה מֵהֶם, וְזֶה הָאִישׁ אֱמֶת מוֹשֵׁךְ לְעַצְמוֹ כָּל הַצְּדָקוֹת, כִּי הַצְּדָקָה נִמְשֶׁכֶת רַק אַחַר הָאֱמֶת.
12. Know, too, that a man of truth—this is someone who is as impeccable and meticulous in observing the commandments [in private], between himself and his Maker, as he is when observing the mitzvah in the presence of human beings; for this is the aspect of truth, in that everything is one for him, whether he does the mitzvah before God or he does it in the presence of human beings—this man of truth is able to draw all the charities to himself. This is because the aforementioned charity performed by [the wicked] remains far from them and is not with them. For it is charity’s nature to draw itself to truth, and since they are far from truth, the charity is far from them. Yet, this man of truth draws all the charities to himself, for charity is drawn only to the truth.
בוְזֶה בְּחִינַת (ישעיה נט): וּצְדָקָה מֵרָחוֹק תַּעֲמֹד, כִּי כָשְׁלָה בָרְחוֹב אֱמֶת; הַיְנוּ שֶׁהַצְּדָקָה עוֹמֶדֶת מֵרָחוֹק, זֶה מֵחֲמַת שֶׁנִּכְשַׁל בָּרְחוֹב אֱמֶת, כִּי מֵחֲמַת שֶׁאֵין אֱמֶת, עַל־כֵּן הַצְּדָקָה רְחוֹקָה מֵהֶם כַּנַּ"ל:
2This is the aspect of “and charity will stay far away, for truth has stumbled in the street” (Isaiah 59:14). That is, the reason charity stays far away is because truth has stumbled in the street. Since there is no truth, charity is therefore far away from them, as explained above.
גוְזֶה שֶׁכָּתוּב: וּצְדָקָה תִּהְיֶה לָנוּ כִּי נִשְׁמֹר לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת כָּל הַמִּצְוָה הַזֹּאת לִפְנֵי ה' אֱלֹקֵינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּנוּ (דברים ו). הַיְנוּ כְּשֶׁיִּהְיֶה לָנוּ בְּחִינוֹת אֱמֶת, דְּהַיְנוּ לִשְׁמֹר לַעֲשׂוֹת כָּל הַמִּצְוו‍ֹת לִפְנֵי ה' לְבַדּוֹ, בְּכָל הַדִּקְדּוּקִים, כְּמוֹ שֶׁעוֹשֶׂה בִּפְנֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם, שֶׁזֶּה בְּחִינַת אֱמֶת כַּנַּ"ל,
3And this is as it is written (Deuteronomy 6:25), “It will be our charity when we safeguard and observe this entire mitzvah before God our Lord, as He has commanded us”—i.e., when we possess the aspect of truth. For safeguarding and observing all the commandments before God alone, in every detail, just as one does in the presence of human beings—this is the aspect of truth, as explained above.
דוְזֶה: כִּי נִשְׁמֹר לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת כָּל הַמִּצְוָה הַזֹּאת לִפְנֵי ה' אֱלֹקֵינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּנוּ וְכוּ' – לִפְנֵי ה אֱלֹקֵינוּ דַּיְקָא, הַיְנוּ שֶׁנִּשְׁמֹר לַעֲשׂוֹת כָּל הַמִּצְווֹת לִפְנֵי ה' לְבַד, בֵּינֵינוּ לְבֵין קוֹנֵנוּ, בְּכָל הַדִּקְדּוּקִים וְהַפְּרָטִים.
4This is: when we safeguard and observe this entire mitzvah before God our Lord, as He has commanded us…—Specifically “before God our Lord”—i.e., we are careful to observe all the commandments that are solely before God, between ourselves and our Maker, with all the details and particulars.
הוְזֶהוּ: כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּנוּ – הַיְנוּ בְּכָל הַדִּקְדּוּקִים כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּנוּ הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ, הַיְנוּ בְּחִינַת אֱמֶת הַנַּ"ל, שֶׁגַּם כְּשֶׁעוֹשֶׂה הַמִּצְוָה לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ לְבַד, הוּא מְדַקְדֵּק בְּכָל הַדִּקְדּוּקִים וְכוּ' כַּנַּ"ל,
5And this is: as He has commanded us—That is, with all the details, as God has commanded us—i.e., the aforementioned aspect of truth. That also when a person observes the mitzvah solely before God, he is meticulous about all the details, etc., as explained above.
ווְאָז: וּצְדָקָה תִּהְיֶה לָנוּ. לָנוּ דַּיְקָא, הַיְנוּ שֶׁנַּמְשִׁיךְ לְעַצְמֵנוּ כָּל הַצְּדָקוֹת, כִּי דֶּרֶךְ הַצְּדָקָה לִמְשֹׁךְ לָאֱמֶת כַּנַּ"ל.
6And then: It will be our charity—Specifically “our”—i.e., we draw all the charities to ourselves, for it is charity’s nature to draw [itself] to truth, as explained above.
זנִמְצָא כְּשֶׁזֶּה הָאִישׁ אֱמֶת מוֹשֵׁךְ לְעַצְמוֹ הַצְּדָקוֹת, אֲזַי אֵין לָהֶם כֹּחַ הַצְּדָקָה וְאֵין כֹּחַ בְּמַחֲשַׁבְתָּם לְהִתְקַיֵּם כַּנַּ"ל:
7Thus it is that when the man of truth draws the charities to himself, [the wicked] then lack charity’s power and their thoughts are unable to prevail, as explained above.
