Likutei Moharan 28:2/ליקוטי מוהר"ן כ״ח:ב׳

12. Now, when those who fear God are vilified and shamed by these heretics, the solution for this is (Psalms 22:7): “But I am a worm, and not a man; vilified of men, <and the disgraced of the nation.” That is,> the concept of “worm” is a remedy for vilification and disgrace. By virtue of this concept one defeats his enemies. This is because a tola (worm) corresponds to EMUNah (faith), as in (Lamentations 4:5), “those who were EMUNim (reared) on tola (scarlet).”

2This is the aspect of Avraham. <He was> the first of the faithful, as is written (Genesis 15:6), “He had faith in God.”

3With the aspect of Avraham, which is the aspect of faith, one breaks and eliminates idolatry, heresy and disgrace. And one overcomes the heretics, corresponding to (Psalms 20:7), “with strength, the salvation of His right hand.” For Avraham is the personification of lovingkindness, the concept of faith, as in (ibid. 89:34), “My lovingkindness I will not remove from him, and I will not be false to My faithfulness.” With this right hand he overcomes his enemies. He takes on the aspect of (Nachum 2:4), “The warriors are mTuLA’im (dressed in scarlet).”

4And with this lovingkindness he rectifies the fallen alephs mentioned above. This is as in (Exodus 20:6), “He performs lovingkindness to the alaphim (thousands).”
