For he is now the representative of the S”M (the Evil One, the head accuser); he is now going and accusing instead of the S”M. However, before he brings all of the accusations, he first brings all of the merit of every single person. Each person's prayers that they said with kavana, their blessings with kavana. ==== The Rebbe (Rebbe Nachman) said to Reb Natan: > β€œSay Asher Yatzar with kavana, then all of the judgements on you will be sweetened, each and every bracha [will sweeten more judgements].” When Reb Natans mother passed away, he asked Rabeinu (Rebbe Nachman) β€œwhat can I do as a favor for her neshama?” Rebbe Nachman answered, β€œSay the Asher Yatzar blessing with kavana”. [He said it in these words] β€œa ernistin aher yatzar.” (Avneha Barzel). ==== REBBE NATAN SAYS IN LIKUTEI HALACHOT (TEFILLIN 6:18): Χ•Φ°Χ–ΦΆΧ” Χ‘ΦΌΦ°Χ—Φ΄Χ™Χ Φ·Χͺ Χ‘ΦΌΦ΄Χ¨Φ°Χ›ΦΌΦ·Χͺ אֲשׁ֢ר Χ™ΦΈΧ¦Φ·Χ¨ Χ©ΧΦΆΧžΦΌΦ°Χ‘ΦΈΧ¨Φ°Χ›Φ΄Χ™ΧŸ Χ‘ΦΌΦ·Χ‘ΦΌΦΉΧ§ΦΆΧ¨ גַל הַנְּקָבִים, This is the aspect of the Asher Yatzar blessing that we bless in the morning.

This faculty is drawn from the sparks of godly consciousness through which the side of death is subdued, which is the aspect of haughtiness.

Therefore, the blessing begins "He Who formed man with wisdom, 'with wisdom' specifically, for it requires great wisdom to sift out the good from the waste, which is theΒ  life of man drawn from life as discussed above, and to push out the waste completely.

Therefore, theΒ  actual blessing made on it is 'He Who acted wondrously' for it is a very big wonderous concept, wonder of wonders.

Therefore, a person must be very wise with true wisdom to sift out the life force which is true humility, from the haughtiness which is complete waste. This is the aspect of sifting the good from the bad so we shouldn't stumble into false humility or complete haughtiness, G-d forbid. ==== ONLY THE TZADDIK CAN CANCEL THE ACCUSATIONS. Why doesn’t Hashem, in His Honor and Glory, cancel the accusations? The answer is hinted in the verse that Hashem said to Moshe: β€˜from now on you will receive My Mouth’. > β€œMouth to Mouth I will speak to you, not with visions, and not with riddles, rather the Image of God you will see.” And, β€œWhy did you not fear speaking against My Servant Moshe?” (Bamidbar 12:8). From now on you will be My Mouth, you will be able to nullify all the decrees. Just as Hashem is able to sweeten all the decrees, so too the Tzaddik can sweeten all the decrees, as it says β€œThe Tzaddik decrees and Hashem fulfills (Ta'anit 23a), [Hashem decrees and the Tzaddik nullifies the decree (Moed Katan 16b)]”. THROUGH THAT, MAY WE MERIT THE COMPLETE REDEMPTION, SPEEDILY IN OUR DAYS. AMEN. ==== https://ravberland.com/1461-prayer-to-yearn-for-the-true-tzaddik/
