Likutei Moharan 61:8/ליקוטי מוהר"ן ס״א:ח׳

18. And by means of all the souls joining together, joy is created, in the aspect of “The light of the tzaddikim is joyous” (Proverbs 13:9). The soul is the aspect of a lamp, in the aspect of “The soul of man is the lamp of God” (ibid. 20:27). When they join together, they become a light, and this produces joy, the aspect of “The light of the tzaddikim is joyous.”

2we are linked through love—This is the aspect of love and the unity of joining together. It produces the mitigation and the rectification, as explained above. And from this comes the aspect of “Rabbi Shimon rejoiced”—i.e., the aspect of joy, which comes about through unity and love, the aspect of “The light of the tzaddikim is joyous.”

3He opened [the lesson] and said: He who goes around gossiping reveals secrets.

4He who goes around gossiping… for his is not a settled spirit—That is, [not] a spirit of wisdom.

5and who is untrustworthy—That is, <he has no> faith in the sages, as explained above. Since he has no faith in the sages, he has no spirit of wisdom, because he has been condemned to waste matter, as explained above.

6reveals secrets—is the aspect of nullifying the writing of our hand—we do not receive the light of the intellect from the hands of ordination, as explained above, in the aspect of “He conceals the light with the palms” (Job 36:32). The letters must receive the intellect’s light from the hands of ordination, as explained above. But due to a blemish of faith in the sages, which is the aspect of “goes around gossiping,” he “reveals secrets”—<the mystery, i.e.,> the intellect’s light, is revealed and departs. And because of this, “They will not share in the mystery of My people,” as explained above.

7But a trustworthy spirit conceals the matter, for his is a settled spirit—<That is,> by means of faith in the sages he “conceals the matter,” the aspect of “He conceals the light with the palms,” as explained above.
