Likutei Moharan 29:6/ליקוטי מוהר"ן כ״ט:ו׳

16. But as long as he has yet to effect the General Remedy, and the Shekhinah is in the category of “Why is your clothing red?”/menstruation, then speech is forbidden. This is as in (Psalms 39:3), “I became mute with dumiyah (silence).” From these DaMim (bloods), the aspect of DuMiyah is made. For the essence of speech is dependent upon the General Remedy, corresponding to, “He announced to you His covenant.” { “In the days of Rabbi Shimon, each person would say to his fellow, ‘Open your mouth and your words will shine.’ After Rabbi Shimon died, they would say, ‘Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin’” (Zohar III, 79a). }

2This is the concept of: “After Rabbi Shimon died, each person would say to his fellow (Ecclesia st es 5:5), ‘Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin.’” This is because Rabbi Shimon is <the aspect of> the “bow of the Covenant,” corresponding to, “He announced to you His covenant”—i.e., the generality of the gidim.

3And when the General Remedy is lacking, speech is then forbidden. This is as in, “I became mute with silence,” and, “Do not let your mouth,” as explained. And someone who speaks then, when the General Remedy is lacking, violates [the commandment], “Do not go gossiping among your people” (Leviticus 19:16). He “goes gossiping, revealing secrets” (Proverbs 11:13).

4However, “in the days of Rabbi Shimon, each person would say to his fellow, ‘Open your mouth [and your words will shine].’” This is because when the General Remedy/”the bow of the Covenant” is present, speech is then permitted. For the blood has already been rectified, as in, “The blood is decomposed and converted into milk,” and as in, “At all times let your garments be white.”

5This is the meaning of (Psalms 30:13), “So that it will sing to Your honor, and will not be silenced.” “Honor” corresponds to garments, which have been whitened from the aspects of “Why is your clothing red?”/the DaM of a menstruating woman. And so, “it will not yiDoM (be silenced).” For whiteness is drawn into the blood from the aspect of “flowing from Lebanon,” as explained. And then speech is permitted, corresponding to, “Open your mouth.”
