Likutei Moharan, Part II 84:3/ליקוטי מוהר"ן· תנינא פ״ד:ג׳
אוְזֶה (דברים ח׳:י״ח): וְזָכַרְתָּ אֶת ה' אֱלֹקֶיךָ, כִּי הוּא הַנֹּתֵן לְךָ כֹּחַ לַעֲשׂוֹת חָיִל. פֵּרוּשׁ, שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי הַכֹּחַ תְּתַקֵּן אֶת אֵשֶׁת־חַיִל, בְּחִינַת מַלְכוּת. וְזֶה פֵּרוּשׁ: לְמִקְנֵי נִכְסִין (הַיְנוּ תַּרְגּוּם שֶׁל לַעֲשׂוֹת חָיִל – לְמִקְנֵי נִכְסִין.) פֵּרוּשׁ, כִּי הַמַּלְכוּת כַּד אִיהִי בְּגָלוּתָא אֲזַי אוֹמֶרֶת: אַל תִּרְאוּנִי שֶׁאֲנִי שְׁחַרְחֹרֶת (שיר השירים א׳:ו׳), כִּי הִיא מְלֻבֶּשֶׁת בִּלְבוּשִׁין אֻכְמִין, בִּלְבוּשִׁין דִּקְלִפִּין, וּמְכֻסָּה בָּהֶם.
13. {“Then you will remember God your Lord, for it is He Who gives you power laasot chayil (to make wealth), in order to hakim (establish) His brit (covenant) that He swore to your forefathers, as this day” (Deuteronomy 8:18).} And this is: “And you will remember God your Lord, for it is He Who gives you power to make chayil (wealth).” The explanation is that through the power one remedies the woman of chayil (valor), the concept of Malkhut. This is the explanation of l’miknei nikhsin {that is, the rendering into Aramaic of laasot chayil as l’miknei nikhsin (“to acquire possessions”)}. The explanation is: When Malkhut is in exile, She says: “Do not look at me for I am black” (Song of Songs 1:6). For She is clad in garments of black, in garments of evil forces, and is concealed by them.
בוַאֲזַי: כְּצִפּוֹר נוֹדֶדֶת מִן קִנָּהּ כֵּן אִישׁ נוֹדֵד (משלי כ״ז:ח׳), כִּי הִיא קֵן דִּילֵהּ. וְכַד אָדָם מִתְפַּלֵּל בְּכֹחַ וּמוֹצִיא אוֹתָהּ מִגָּלוּתָא, מִכִּסּוּיִין דִּילָהּ, וְנַעֲשֵׂית קֵן לְהַקָּדוֹשׁ־בָּרוּךְ־הוּא. וְזֶה פֵּרוּשׁ: לְמִקְנֵי – לְשׁוֹן קֵן; נִכְסִין – לְשׁוֹן כִּסּוּיִין. וְעִקָּר כַּוָּנָתְךָ יִהְיֶה, שֶׁתְּתַקֵּן הַשְּׁכִינָה כְּדֵי לְזַוְּגָהּ עִם בַּעְלָהּ.
2And then: “Like a bird wandering from the nest is a man who wanders” (Proverbs 27:8), for She is His nest. Thus, when a person prays with intensity and releases Her from Her exile, from Her concealments, She becomes a nest for the Blessed Holy One. This is the explanation: “l’miKNei (to acquire)” connotes a KeiN (nest); “niKhSin (possessions)” connotes KiSuyin (concealments). Your main intention should be to rectify the Shekhinah (Divine Presence) in order to unite Her with Her Husband.
