He who supports the simple pure hearted, please save us. Merit us to serve You with truth and complete purity and simplicity with no cleverness at all. Guard and save us, through Your abundant compassion, from investigation secular wisdoms. Have mercy on me and all the Jewish People and grant us true simplicity. You know the paths of simplicity with absolute truth.

Master of the Universe, I know and believe with complete faith that, even in the place where I am now, there is a pathway and good advice that can guide me in the paths of purity and simplicity in such a way that I can escape from what I have to escape from and return to You with all my heart. However, my sins have confused my mind and stupefied my heart. I know of no way to achieve simplicity other than by constantly shouting out to You. Just merit me to sanctify my thoughts all the time focusing it always on the point of truth and simplicity, without any cleverness at all. Merciful One, my eyes turn in dependence to You. Perform great loving-kindness for me even though I do not deserve it and help me to really repent and return to You.

Have compassion on us and upon our children, together with all Jewish children; guard us and save us from all kinds of philosophy and secular wisdom. Let us not peruse or even glance at them at all. Merit us in the virtue of Moshe and all the true tzaddikim, who fought Amalek, to be saved from the husk of Amalek, who is a philosopher and it is epitomized by the secular wisdoms. May the hearts of the true, living tzaddikim be aroused, together with those of the tzaddikim who have passed away, on our behalf, to subdue, break and uproot the husk of Amalek and his cohorts. Prevent them from having any power to instill their evil ways and opinions into the hearts of the Jewish People, Heaven forbid. Please merit us, in You bountiful mercy, to really serve You by performing all the mitzvoth and studying Torah with purity and simplicity. By this, enable us to ascertain the true, eternal purpose. May our portion be together with the true tzaddikim.

Help us and redeem us with Your immense compassion. Merit us to pray before You with great concentration, always, with all my heart and soul until our prayers become merged in Your Oneness. Master of the World, I am so far away from all this that I do not know how to pray for it. However, I believe with complete faith, by belief in purity and simplicity, that we can merit to all this within own lifetime. Merciful One, listen to the cries of my voice. My King and G-d, I pray to You. Save me. May the worlds of my mouth and the musings of my heart find favour before You, G-d, my Rock and Redeemer.

 When a person enters into the service of G-d he has to wait and linger until he becomes known to the public. But by the controversy that exists in the world, a person may become well known prematurely. As a result this causes damage and loss to this person who is made famous before his time. Or damage is also caused to the pathway in the service of G-d that he wanted to reveal to the public. And then this causes death to the people involved in the controversy. Sometimes when the blemish is not so severe so then this causes poverty. This secret is clarified in the Torah in the verse: "When people struggle together" etc. See inside.
