What is Called Hitbodedut?

From the words of the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

The Rebbe explains in Torah 72 "A well, princes dug it" – this is the shame that a person needs to carry all day with shame so that "His fear will be upon your faces so that you do not sin" – this is the shame. The entire hour of hitbodedut is to bring the shame, to feel the shame. A person prays to be a tzaddik, to have livelihood, to have children, to have a home – all this hitbodedut is already called requests, it is not hitbodedut! Hitbodedut is when a person is filled with shame before Hashem and cannot lift his head from the immense shame – only this is called hitbodedut. And if not, it leads to anger! The Rebbe said improper hitbodedut leads to anger! Because a person needs to ask for everything, for a home, for a shoelace, so this is called requests, it is not hitbodedut. Hitbodedut is only to come to immense shame until the Rebbe said, "I would change colors from the immense shame." A person needs to change colors from the immense shame... If a person wants to do hitbodedut, he needs to sit in some corner with a settled mind and truly regret all the bad thoughts, all the bad deeds... Because until a person lives to 120 years, he has bad thoughts – this comes from the breaking of vessels. He needs every day to fight with this until 120 years, and the whole battle is only to push it away, not to sink into it, not to follow the thoughts, the thought must come but must be immediately thrown away with all force! Except for Rabbeinu who already merited at age 4 to be pure from all bad thoughts because he cried so much to Hashem, and this is the aspect of shame as it is written "The moon shall be confounded and the sun ashamed." So all of hitbodedut is to reach shame, to reach shame... "A well, princes dug it" – the princes, the tzaddikim, bring upon us shame. All the work of the tzaddikim is to bring upon us shame "Princes dug it, nobles of the people excavated it." So through the tzaddikim, we merit "the moon shall be confounded and the sun ashamed," that even the sun, even the tzaddikim in the aspect of the sun, they too feel shame before Hashem... So the princes are the leaders of thousands, leaders of hundreds, the tzaddikim who bring upon us the shame. A person needs to find such a tzaddik who can bring upon him the shame, and then he can revive the dead if a person will have this shame of the tzaddik, he can revive the dead! So in the lawgiver, and one only needs to reveal the humility, the Rebbe explains that everyone has the humility, a Jew is born with humility, so a person needs to reach the humility of Moshe, this is "lawgiver with their staves," needs to reach the humility of Moshe, the humility of Moshe that is engraved in every limb and sinew, engraved the humility of Moshe that is clothed in every limb and sinew! A person is born with humility, it is in our genes, a Jew as he is born already receives the humility in his genes, receives the humility from the parents, from the grandparents, and a yearning for Torah, a yearning to serve Hashem, his yearning is only for Hashem, and the main thing is the humility of Moshe in every limb and sinew, and then he can revive the dead if a person will have the humility of Moshe, Rabbeinu says a person can reach such a level that he can revive the dead and this can pass over to each and every one, every Jew...
