Chasidut do Ezechiela 1:4
וָאֵ֡רֶא וְהִנֵּה֩ ר֨וּחַ סְעָרָ֜ה בָּאָ֣ה מִן־הַצָּפ֗וֹן עָנָ֤ן גָּדוֹל֙ וְאֵ֣שׁ מִתְלַקַּ֔חַת וְנֹ֥גַֽהּ ל֖וֹ סָבִ֑יב וּמִ֨תּוֹכָ֔הּ כְּעֵ֥ין הַחַשְׁמַ֖ל מִתּ֥וֹךְ הָאֵֽשׁ׃
Widziałem tedy, a oto wicher gwałtowny nadciągał od północy, obłok potężny i ogień skłębiony, a jasność otaczała go dokoła; zaś z pośród niego wyzierało coś, niby widmo błyszczącego złota, - niby z pośród onego ognia.

Baal Shem Tov
The mystery of Chashmal mentioned in Ezekiel 1:4, the rabbis (Chagigah 13b) interpreted it as creatures that are sometimes silent (Chashot) and sometimes chattering (memalelot). From the language of Chash mal, learn that you must be silent until you strike out and cut up (mal) the evil forces, then speak up and cleave to the divine, to sweeten these harsh judgements at their root. This is the secret of prayer, as explained by my teacher the Baal Shem Tov, in the name of his teacher.
