Description

If we do not have enough ratzon (will) to stubbornly pursue ratzon, and we are not able to scold ourselves, then we should attach ourselves to a tzadik to find out how we can fix ourselves. We must work with our Rebbe's words repeatedly and push ourselves until something inside of us moves. The struggle to build ourselves is up to us. The very bitterness over the lack of ratzon for closeness to Hashem will improve us.
