Meaning that the problem of a memutzah is like quoted above that it’s asking something else not Hashem
That’s not what you said earlier. “Asking” someone else and “davening to” someone else are synonymous. It’s called avoda zara.
since the tzaddik is so connected and nullified to Hashem connecting to the tzaddik connects u to Hashem directly
The early ovdei avoda zara rationalized that way about the son and the moon.
