Rabbi Nachman’s Teachings
From “Rabbi Nachman’s Wisdom”
The Zohar states that tshuva does not help for the sin of spilling one’s seed in vain. Rabbi Nachman said that this is not so. T’shuva helps for all sins. He also said that no one understands the meaning of this passage in the Zohar except for him. The truth is that t’shuva certainly helps for this sin, even if one has carried out this sin many times. True t’shuva involves never repeating this sin again. You must go to the same place and be placed in the same situation as you were before, and be exposed to the same temptation. Only this time, you must take care not to do the same thing as you did before. You must break your desire and withstand the temptation. This is the essence of t’shuva,” (Rabbi Nachman’s Wisdom, 71.)
