אות - קמו

In Likutey Moharan II, 46, the Rebbe says that the word KaShYA (difficulty or question) consists of the initial letters of the verse, “ Shma YHVH Koli Ekra — Hear, God, my voice, I call” (Psalms 27:7) . In this lesson, it appears there is something missing before the phrase, “nevertheless, God hears his voice and this is his salvation.”

This lesson teaches that when you cry out with your heart, this itself is an aspect of faith. You may have many questions and grave doubts, but when your heart cries out, it shows that you still have the burning spark of faith. Without this spark, you would remain still. The cry itself is therefore in the category of faith. Understand this.

This cry itself can also bring you to faith. The cry itself is an aspect of faith, but it is a very weak faith. But the cry can bring you to strong faith. It can elevate and strengthen your faith until all difficulties vanish.

Even if you are not worthy of this, the cry itself is still very beneficial.
