Siman 281

(41.) In the year 5569 at the close of the Sabbath he answered and said: "If a great soul were to come to us — even so, we would appear distinguished." And truly they only oppose him because they imagined for themselves some person, as is brought elsewhere [Sichos HaRan 182] etc., and he sits in his house. And there had already been a case where they were in controversy against one — and he built himself a high tower and sat inside it. And they were fighting against him and shooting arrows and fire at him. But they could accomplish nothing. But there are precious stones that grow from vapors and mists. And there was a precious stone that was growing in the air — but it still did not yet have all its perfection completely. And through their shooting arrows at him as mentioned — through this they threw the precious stone and it fell on the tower. And this precious stone was one of charm [chen]. <span style="color:#b8a060; font-style:italic;" title="הַשְׁמָטָה — מֶלֶךְ וְכֶבֶשׂ"><And immediately when it fell on the tower, immediately they all fell before him and said: "Long live the King! Long live the King!"></span> <p>But the small souls like you — who fall through the battles — they are in the aspect of [Lamentations 4]: "The holy stones are poured out." And it is called a pouring-out because they still do not have all their perfection and they fall before they are completed. But the aforementioned great soul — the aforementioned precious stone — the aspect of charm was completely perfected in him. But the other perfections he still did not have — and through the sage they were completed. (וְעַיֵּן הוֹסָפוֹת סִי' רפו)
