You already heard from Rabbi Nachman and Rabbi David what was done with them in these times — in the matter of his return to Breslov. And still his eyes yearn for the salvation of Hashem — for according to what appears the matter is close to being completed with Hashem's help. But still they need salvation and great mercy — that Hashem Yisborach complete it for good quickly — and to Hashem the salvation. And in particulars it is impossible to express in the open field. And just now he is here still — and it is likely that he will be on Shabbas Kodesh coming upon us for good in Breslov. But also this he does not yet know clearly.
And to tell you the greatness of Hashem and His wonders — and in particular the wonders of His chasadim that he sees and believes — that are renewed every day with immense and awesome wonders — there is no mouth to express and no pen to write. As they say: *"Illu kol ha'yamim dyyo — va'agamim kulmusim — u'vnei adam lavlarim v'leshonos m'kalessim"* — "were all the days ink — and the seas quills — and all people scribes and praisers" and so forth. [אִלּוּ כָּל הַיַּמִּים דְּיוֹ וַאֲגַמִּים קֻלְמוֹסִים — from the ancient piyyut Nishmas and also from the Nishmas prayer — the classic expression of the impossibility of adequately praising Hashem] And even though this phrase is ancient and written in the holy liturgical poems — but in the chasadim of Hashem — it is new for us every day. And also this is the wonders of Hashem and His chasadim — that we merit to believe in this in truth — through the tiny bit that flashes of the chasadim of Hashem and His wonders and His awesomeness — through the awesome novellae that we merited to see and to hear from his holy mouth and so forth. *"Mah gadlu ma'asecha Hashem — m'od amku machshevosecha."* [Tehillim 92:6] And only this is his comfort in his poverty — what he remembers each time that he said (Sichos HaRan 3): *"Hashem Yisborach is very great and one does not know at all — for things like these are done in the world and one does not know at all."* [שִׂיחוֹת הָרַ"ן ג — Conversations of the Rebbe (Sichot HaRan) teaching 3 — one of the most repeated phrases in Reb Nussun's letters throughout the entire collection — the Rebbe's statement that Hashem is very great and one does not know at all. Here Reb Nussun says this is his comfort in his poverty — his lifeline through all the vicissitudes of exile] What shall I say to you my beloved son — what sparks in my heart from this. And in my opinion just now — both you and all of you will be able to give yourselves life — from this — and from all the awesome novellae that we have seen and heard.
And because I do not know with whom this letter will be sent — for I am sending it to Breslov to my son my friend Rabbi Shachna — may his light shine — therefore I cannot extend. Only from his love and your yearning — he wrote these his words. And in all likelihood they will gather together soon — and face to face they will speak what Hashem will place in their mouths. And if Hashem wills — when he comes to Breslov — he will see to inform him of their affairs. And greet all the anshei sh'lomaynu with great love — more than this there is no leisure to extend.
The words of your father who seeks your peace and your benefit with love — and intercedes on your behalf — and on behalf of all of you — and awaits to see you with joy.
Nussun of Breslov.
Overview: Monday, Parshas Eikev — Nemirov. To Yitzchok — "dear one as my soul and my heart." You already heard from Rabbi Nachman and Rabbi David what was done with them in these times — in the matter of his return to Breslov. And still his eyes yearn for the salvation of Hashem — for according to what appears the matter is close to being completed with Hashem's help.
