Siman 149

(21.) The Maggid of Tiraovitze walked half a parsah on foot with great speed to receive him when he came from the Land of Israel. And it was close to Kaniblad — for Rabbainu o.b.m. was traveling that way home. And one of the Maggid's people saw him there near the bridge close to the city, and was greatly startled. And Rabbainu o.b.m. said to him that he should go and inform the Maggid quietly that he should travel to him at the close-by village — half a parsah away. For Rabbainu o.b.m. did not want to stop and enter the city. And the aforementioned man ran and came in great haste and informed the Maggid. And the Maggid was then outside, speaking with people without a hat and without a belt. And immediately and at once when the Maggid heard that Rabbainu o.b.m. was there, he cried out with agitation from the greatness of the joy and said to the aforementioned man: "Quickly! Hasten! Harness my carriage and run after me to the village, and I will go on foot until you overtake me." And the Maggid ran immediately in agitation without a hat and without a belt until he left the city. And thus he ran further until he came to the village on foot — for he preceded his carriage, which came behind him. Even though the aforementioned man harnessed the horses with great haste and ran immediately after the Maggid — the Maggid walked so quickly that he came to the village on foot, and the man with the carriage did not overtake him until he had already entered to Rabbainu z"l. I have recorded this to make known the great enthusiasm and longing of those who tremble at the word of G-d, to see the face of the great true tzaddikim.
