The Alter Rebbe on his return from (his arrest in) Petersburg said a maamar for the Mitteler Rebbe, consisting in all of but a few lines:
Raise your hands in holiness and bless Havayeh1 (G-d). G-d bless you from Zion, Maker of heaven and earth.2
"Raise your hands in holiness" - refers to the elevation of the emotive traits to the intellect, and the illumination of the emotive traits by the intellect*...
..."And bless3 Havayeh" - thereby eliciting the Supernal Name Havayeh,4 the effect being...
"G-d bless you from Zion" - the Name Havayeh will be drawn forth from the essence of the soul,
"Maker of heaven and earth" - and this maintains the existence of the worlds.*
