      "en": "He has done with us out of His immense, wondrous loving-kindness, and He has given us such an unconditional gift – (this,) that we have fallen into the lot of the True Tzaddik – who is the head and the chosen one from all the chosen Tzaddikim, transcendent over all that is on high, who engages with us now in order to extricate us from between the teeth of the Samech Mem (Satan) – from all the bad places in which we have fallen, and to elevate us above space. Only, the main thing is, that one must completely darken the eyes of his mind, and completely remove his intellect and wisdom, and he should make himself out to be like an animal that has no intellect, and to rely solely upon faith alone. And this is the main wisdom of all wisdoms, because when he will be strong in his faith alone, without intellect, wisdoms, or any analyzations in his mind, he will then for sure merit, with the passage of time, to grasp and comprehend true perceptions and wisdoms of G-dliness – that which is impossible to perceive with the human intellect. Only, he shouldn’t put this up for a test – rather, he should go with ingenuousness and simplicity, with truly straight faith. But one must guard himself exceedingly from false beliefs, faiths of nonsense and vanity – so that he shouldn’t be a fool who will believe everything. And this is the aspect of pure (-kosher) animals and impure animals, of which Hashem yisburach warned us to differentiate between the impure and the pure – for the faith is the aspect of an animal as said earlier, but straightforward faith of genuineness, of holiness – this is the aspect of pure animals, and false beliefs are the aspect of impure animals (See Likutay Halachos, Laws of Bichor Bihaima Tihora 3:2)! One who goes along in timeemus (wholeheartedness/ingenuousness) becomes intelligent (Sefer Hamidos, Da’as 16). One who has faith merits afterwards to serve God with great daas (cognizance, realization of knowledge) (Ibid. 17). Through being acquainted with Tzaddikim, you will merit to understanding (beena) and cognizance (daas) (Ibid."
