Siman 293

(3.) I heard that once he said to his people: "Why do you need to think thoughts? You only need to give stones and mortar — and I build from them wondrous and awesome structures" [in Yiddish: "ir darft nor tsu trogn shteiner un vafne un ich baue der fun binyanim"]. (Meaning, we need only to engage in the service of G-d simply — in Torah and prayer and commandments — and he does with this what he does. And he drew out the word binyanim at great length, as if extolling the wonders of the splendor of the awesome structures he builds from this.) He said: "About every single one of our people Hashem Yisburach says: 'Israel in whom I am glorified'" [Isaiah 49].
