Overview: Monday, Parshas Sh'mini — Breslov — 5603. He received his letter on Purim and also today. Praised be G-d — the days of Purim passed in joy. Praised be G-d that he fulfilled the mission yesterday — sending Rabbi Nachman the sum. And if delayed on Purim itself — force majeure exempts. The letter he wrote then — for that alone it was worthwhile — for the pen produced many wonderful true words he had not planned at all. Great are the deeds of Hashem. My beloved son — from every single work and movement Hashem arranged — from the day he drew close to the light of our life — and after his passing — in his work with them in the general and the particular — from all of them one can understand the chasadim of Hashem and His wonders without end. "Rabbos asisa Atah Hashem Elohai nifle'osecha v'machshvosecha eleinu." They now need to request that Hashem accept their Purim joy — as if they fulfilled all the mitzvos properly — until they merit the purity of the Red Heifer — to purify them from the impurity of the dead — to be pure for the Pesach offering — careful from chametz materially and spiritually — very careful from making the brain chametz through evil thoughts — until they convert from chametz to matzah — from ches to hei — from death to life. Mah nashiv laHashem — in every single mitzvah and holy season — they merited to hear awesome things that give life to every soul. Ashreinu mah tov chelkeinu.

He received his letter today. And what you wrote — that you did not express your conversation before him as you wished — because of your preoccupation in honoring him — that is true. But also he himself knew this while being in his house — and there were several times and seasons when he had leisure to speak with him greatly — all that he wished. But there are many more obstacles. But in his view — he already spoke with him greatly — in the general words of truth he spoke there greatly. And from them he can understand many things explicitly and through hints. And already in the previous days they spoke greatly. And already he heard and saw in his holy books and in what they made new in them greatly. But the arousal of the baal davar — the adversary — is beyond measure. But all their hope is on the power of the holy elder — which surpasses all — and it is impossible to speak of this in the open field. And if Hashem wills — the vision is still for its appointed time — to speak face to face — when they gather together soon.

And for now — be strong and bold — and gladden your soul every day anew — with what they merited — that He created us for His honor and set us apart from those who err in all the aspects. For from the very greatness of the tumult and the obstacles that touch upon them — one understands how greatly great are the goodly places of Hashem with us — that we were saved from their opposition and their mockery. Even if He only drew us close to him and we did not oppose such a light — and received no new teaching from him at all — that would have been enough for us. And for every new teaching and word and conversation that we received from him — we must say: "ilmalei lo aseinu ela lishmo'a da dayeinu" — "had we come into the world only to hear this — it would have been enough for us." How much more so — and so forth.

The words of your father — who awaits salvation.
