nderful and I think so much can be understood by internalizing this foundation.
Reb Nosson who was a learned fellow asked reb nachman, his rebbe a question "rebbe iv been offered a position as rav in a town, should I take it on?" to this reb nachman replied, "of course, my dear talmid", reb Nosson who knew what this position would mean to him, and how much time he would have to sacrifice for trivial work if he got the position, asked reb nachman again "bemes, rebbe, don't you think I should just focus on my own learning?", reb nachman again replied "my dear talmid, your time has come, you need to bring in parnosah for your family", reb Nosson did not give up and asked again "be'emes be'emes?" to this reb nachman replied "ah you want to know the real truth! No don't become a rav, instead focus on your learning even more"
Reb Nosson in his characteristic way builds from this shmuess that he had with his rebbe a whole derech in yiddishkeit, he explains there is emes, truth, and there is emeser emes, real truth, real truth is when all is taken into account, for truth without the whole picture can be false, as we will see soon. For there is a medrash that says so, the ribonoi shel oilam wanted to build a human, the Midas ha'ames rushed to him and said "ribonoi shel oilam don't you know that this human will sin?" but hashem threw him out and created the world, asks reb Nosson. The signature oh hkbh is emes, how could he throw it out? so he explains that this "emes" that showed itself up on that day was no emes it was sheker, for it had not taken teshuvah Into account, it had not taken retzoinois "desires" into account, it was non other then sheker hiding behind a facade of emes!
With this he explains another episode in our history, Moshe rabbeinu was in heaven 40 days and 40 nights, Hashem said lech raid, "go down for your people have sinned" Moshe rabbeinu leaves with the luchos in his hand, he reaches the bottom of the mount, He breaks it! Why? If he needed to break it why didn't he break it as soon as he descended? The answer is powerful, Moshe rabbeinu wanted to camp into the camp of Israel with the luchos in his hand and scream "gevald! Yidden! Look at yourselves! Can't you see on these luchos, onoichi! Loi yiyeh lecho!", but he didnt do that, do you know why? He knew that if he did that the yidden will be so broken they will give up on all thought of teshuvah. So he broke the emes, in order to connect to the real emes, the emes that there is always hope. So reb noon says one must remember, there is so many time when the ba'al hasheker, the yh hides behind emes and gives you his emes rhetoric, throw it away go for the emeser emes, the real truth! The truth that no matter what
