And he then said the small teaching in Likutay Moharan: \"That to be intermingled among the gentiles is very difficult for the service of the Creator.\" But they did not heed his counsel — and accepted a certain pudryad from a certain general. And indeed in a business such as this it is even harder to serve the Creator — for in order that the goods one delivers should find favor in the eyes of the general, one is required to be with him in friendship and excessive closeness, and at times to participate with them in card-playing. And in a gathering of that kind, as is customary, there are also some of their wives or maidens present — and for the wise, a hint is sufficient."

      "en": "Siman 63. Sections א–ב form a single two-part unit: Reb Tzvi deliberates so deeply over every movement that his very hesitation — and the embarrassed thoughts behind it — become the occasion for the Rebbe to display total knowledge of his mind, pronouncing aloud the exact thought Reb Tzvi had not yet voiced, then delivering a chilling three-part prophecy about his three brothers' lives of poverty. Section ג presents Reb Avrohom of Berditchev — a capable, literate man who twice refuses the Rebbe's counsel to abandon commerce entirely. The Rebbe's patience is inexhaustible: two years and a complete financial collapse later, he greets him with a gentle tap and a wry Yiddish ultimatum. Section ד is the elaborate Taanis Esther story in Kaminitz: the Shochet who turned away the Rebbe, searched in vain through the night, found him lodged with a miser (who accepted because the Rebbe's light radiated wealth before his eyes) — and then the stunning public exposure of his pasgul knife. Section ה is one of the richest in the collection: the story of Reb Chaikil's shefa — the Rebbe's permitting of the water-spreading ritual, the householder's miraculous rise from poverty to prosperity through passing gentile traders, and the Rebbe's sharp rebuke when the former pauper becomes so busy he has no time to glance at the sky. Section ו: a single sentence prophecy — the Nekriten conscription deferred twenty-five years. Section ז–ח: the full Moshe Hinkes pudryad saga — the partnership, the Rebbe's warning against intermingling with gentiles, the prophecy of the midnight knock at the window, fulfilled more than twenty years after the Rebbe's passing; and the Rebbe's deathbed foreknowledge that Moshe Hinkes would have children upon remarrying. Sections ט–י: brief but electrifying outlines — the miraculous kfitsat ha'aretz with immediate forgetting of the city's name; and the awesome roaring sound from behind closed doors that threw Reb Shmuel Yitzchak to the ground in terror. Section יא: the Rebbe reading Reb Meir's exact thought as he boarded the wagon — then strategically letting himself \"be caught\" misleading him, to protect his free will; the wonder of the wonder. Section יב: the great story of Reb Meir's wife, the promise of a son at the price of all their wealth, the child's death after the Rebbe's ominous word in the synagogue, the lifting of shiva for a wedding, the son named Nachman ben Feiga who could have been a spiritual wonder but for violated conditions. Section יג: a brief pointer to the Yenuka story. Section יד: the failed ambush by misnagdim near Nemirov, the Rebbe's holy spirit guiding him through side-roads, the Rebbetzin mistaken for the Rebbe, the shameful retreat — and the Rebbe's double-edged conclusion: the gift-giver will not escape punishment, and his own men should not have relied on the miracle but remained with the misnagdim on account of the commandment not to stand by while blood is shed."

Only I am wiser than you —\" \"nor ich bin kliger fun dir.\" And he drew him with his pleasant words until [Reb Yudel] came close to him again — and [Admoyr] cast upon him a second time awe and dread — until he recoiled again backwards to the doorway as before.

Only I am wiser than you\" — until he drew him close again as before. And again he cast upon him awe and dread, etc., as before. And so it was several times — until Admoyr z\"l commanded him to confess before him everything that had ever befallen him. [As he would command all of his close disciples — giving to each and every one rectifications and practices according to the root of his soul, as is brought in his holy books.] And from then onward, he and Reb Shmuel Aizik mentioned above were very strongly bound to Admoyr z\"l — and multiplied greatly from day to day their engagement in divine service in Torah and prayer and repentance and good deeds, with very great and immense awakening, until the time of their passing z\"l. And they greatly multiplied new Torah innovations [chidushim] and became very great Tzadikim."

And also many of his close disciples and his descendants drew close through him to Admoyr z\"l."

And he was engaged in commerce in the business of currency exchange. Once he saw Admoyr z\"l, etc. — as brought there in Chayay Moharan, see there. And the explanation of the phrase \"and what happened, happened\" [vahava ma d'hava] brought there — I heard some of this from my father, may I be his atonement — namely that when he came before Admoyr z\"l, he inflamed his heart to the service of Hashem, may He be blessed, like a literal flame of fire. And he commanded him special practices according to the root of his soul. And one practice he commanded upon him that was heavier and harder than all the rest — namely that for a full year he would not speak with any person, not even a single word [except with the Maggid z\"l]. And afterwards he traveled home. And immediately upon his arrival at home, he separated himself completely from the affairs of this world — and did not speak with any person as he had been commanded, as mentioned. And from his rising until his lying down, his lips did not cease from Torah and prayer. And immediately great quarrels and persecutions arose against him from all the members of his household — and especially from his father-in-law and his wife. And they multiplied their words and utterances against him with expressions like sword-thrusts literally — and they called him by the name \"one who has gone out of his mind,\" and other such names."

[And it is understood that he feared lest he become ill, G-d forbid, or lest he fall from his service on account of this.] And immediately he called with alacrity one of his men and commanded him to hire a wagon for him at once, immediately — to Tirhovitza. And he ran there with speed and arrived there at night. And he placed himself with the wagon at the house of the father-in-law of Reb Yitzchak Aizik z\"l, with whom [Reb Yitzchak Aizik] was then living — and he knocked on the door that they should open for him, and entered. And the father-in-law raised his eyes and saw — and behold, Admoyr z\"l had come to his house. And he was very amazed and astonished, for he did not know what this was and why it was. And Reb Yitzchak Aizik z\"l was in his room and was then reciting the Kriyas Shma before sleep with great power and with wondrous, immense devotion [dveykus]. And Admoyr z\"l heard — and did not want to enter his room and let himself be seen before him, so as not to disturb and interrupt him in the middle of his recitation. And meanwhile Admoyr z\"l began to rebuke the father-in-law for his evil way — for tormenting his son-in-law with such sufferings as mentioned. And Admoyr z\"l also asked him: \"When in the morning you put on tefillin, and with your hand you wrap yourself with the leather straps, and with your mouth you are silent and still and do not wish to speak any word — if an uncircumcised gentile were then to stand before you who had never seen or heard such a thing — would he not say of you that you have gone out of your mind?\" [That is, for it is precisely the same in kind as those very same words which he says about his son-in-law — that he has gone out of his mind — for doing the will of the Creator, may He be blessed, according to the hidden ways that He makes known to us through His faithful servants.] And more words like these he spoke and rebuked him, until the father-in-law very greatly repented of this — and accepted upon himself not to torment him any further from that day onward."
