אַאַמוּ"ר כּוֹתֵב בְּאֶחָד מִמַּאֲמָרָיו

My revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], writes in one of his maamarim

תַּעֲנוּג נַפְשִׁי עַל אֱלֹקוּת יָכוֹל לִהְיוֹת מִזֶּה שַׁמְנוּנִית בַּגוּף

The soul’s delight in G‑dliness can actually make a person fat.

אוֹמְרִים עַל הָרַב ר' נָחוּם מִטשֶׁרְנאָבִּיל

It was said that [the holy tzaddik,] R. Nachum of Chernobyl,

שֶׁהָיָה שָׁמֵן בְּגוּפוֹ מֵעֲנִיַת אָמֵן יְהֵא שְׁמֵיהּ רַבָּה

became portly from [his sheer delight in] responding Amen, Yehei Shmei Rabbah.
