Likutei Moharan 29:2/ליקוטי מוהר"ן כ״ט:ב׳

12. Now, raising and enhancing daat is accomplished through praise of the tzaddikim. By praising and extolling the tzaddikim, daat is elevated, corresponding to (Deuteronomy 32:11), “Like a nesher (eagle) arousing its kein (nest).” Nishra is the spirit, the concept of tzaddik, as in (Numbers 27:18), “A man in whom there is the spirit <of God>.” “Arousing its kein”—he arouses the “mentalities” from their slumber, from the aspect of constricted consciousness, from the aspect of sleep. “KeiN” alludes to (Proverbs 4:5), “KNei (acquire) wisdom, KNei understanding”; these being the mentalities, <as in known>. { “Bless the Lord, O His angels; the st rong warriors who do His word, so as to hear the sound of His word” (Psalms 103:20). }

2Even angels, when they want to utter a word that will be heard and accepted among them—corresponding to, “do His word, so as to hear the sound of His word”—they then praise and extol the Holy One first. For He is the Tzaddik of the world, as in (Psalms 145:17), “God is a tzaddik in all His ways.” Because of this, the word is in the category of “to hear the sound of His word.”

3And this is, “Bless the Lord, O His angels”—i.e., the praise <and splendor> with which they first praise <and extol> the Holy One, who is the Tzaddik of the world. And afterwards, through this they “do His word, so as to hear the sound of His word.” They create the word which is heard and accepted.
