Through drawing close to the Tzaddik Emet—by knowing the above and following his holy advice—we draw to ourselves a wellspring of sparks of the Holy Light of the Tzaddik, each of us according to our level. Even if one is very far from Kedushah, by drawing close to the Tzaddik Emet, he is influenced to recognize and see clearly how far he is from Truth, Righteousness and ways of proper Justice and how he is sunken in the opposite. He comes to yearn for Truth and to pray for it without any despair or sadness. Rather, he realizes that Hashem is calling even to him and that he is precious in Hashem's Eyes. So too for each of us, to whatever level we have ascended. The more we draw close to the True Tzaddik, the more we merit to draw forth the Kedushah of the Tzaddik empowering us to go in his ways and to know that everything is in Hashem's Hand to access through always praying for it. Amen!"

For that is the matter of \"meforsam shel sheker—the false famous leader\" warned about in Likutei Moharan. Rather, every single person must receive from this Tzaddik who has been revealed in several generations and is the fluorescence of Mashiach and the preparation for Geulah (the Final Redemption). Everyone needs to know about this Tzaddik. For if one does not know about him in this incarnation, one will have to keep being reincarnated until he does know him. It is this for which we wait so intently—the Redemption and Restoration. This was the intent of our sages in Pirkei Avot 1:6, \"Make for yourself a Rav [Tzaddik] and acquire for yourself a friend...\"—that together you can receive from this Tzaddik; and also 6:6, \"Everone who quotes a word in the name of the one who said it brings Geulah to the world\"—meaning that when we know from whom is drawn all the words and teachings of the Torah [i.e. the Tzaddik Emet] it hastens the universal Geulah and our personal Geualah."

Amen! Ken yihee ratzon—may it be His Will!"
