The Desire to Give: 4b

A teacher may have stored in his mind deep secrets that he is unable to share with everyone. He seeks a student who can be the vessel to receive his teachings. A student who, so to speak, is the repository where the teacher can deposit the inner secrets of his brain; the roots that can grow anew in fertile soil. They cannot be shared with everyone, only with a student who uniquely understands his teacher.

In the same manner every person is a vessel in which Hashem wishes to deposit his secrets so they can grow into a revelation of His glory. Each person as the vessel he has been chosen to be. When a person comes to connect to Hashem he should understand that he is placing himself as the vessel in which to receive the secrets of his Master.

"When a person wants to speak with Hashem, Hashem pushes aside all of His concerns with which he was, so to speak, occupied, and focuses solely on the person who wishes to speak with him, and express his desire for closeness." (Rebbe Nachman)

For a moment of relationship with Hashem it is worth dealing with all the resulting responsibility, even if it is difficult. When a person sees the fruits of his relationship, those activities which have revealed the glory of Hashem, he is not frightened to return again. On the contrary he is inspired to connect to Hashem again.
