And joy is mainly in the heart, as is written (Ps. 4): "You gave joy in my heart." And it is impossible for the heart to rejoice, until he removes the crookedness in his heart, that he should have straightness of heart, and then he will merit to simchah (joy), as is written (Ps. 97): "And gladness for the streaight of heart."
R Nachman (Likutei Moharan 5.3)
