The first part of the "Petek" of Rabbi Nachman (as revealed on page 242 of the book called Na Nach (two types of Jews -last lines)), is called "the letter". This letter has exactly the shape of the hand with the middle finger and pinky exchanges because they are the longest and shortest lines / fingers and both start with very. Each finger corresponds to a biblical character, but more importantly Rabbi Nachmans' message is written on the hand clearly to all of us. Like in the story of the Master of Prayer who includes a wise man with everything written on the hand of the King, but which he only keeps a copy of. Saba did say a photocopy is exactly like the original!
Jumping to the bottom line ... if you take the Petek and it's letter seriously , YOU are under the hand of Gd and no matter how "weak" you are you are in fact infinitely powerful since the hand of Gd is above you.
