(24.) I heard in his name that he said: "The lowest of my people — I am leading him on a path of a very great tzaddik as of today." <span style="color:#b8a060; font-style:italic;" title="הַשְׁמָטָה — לוּלְקֶע א"><He said: "The famous ones will also draw close to him — and will be accepted by him — and they will need much money for it. And they are in the aspect of gerim gerurim [dragged converts] who were dragged over because of a decree of persecution."></span> And how much more so should one who is close to him be envied — and certainly one who merits to [have Rabbainu] extend a hand to him and draw him close. <span style="color:#b8a060; font-style:italic;" title="הַשְׁמָטָה — לוּלְקֶע ב"><He said: "Imagine for yourself a great one of the generation of today — in the end he will certainly stand at the doorway and greatly envy those who are close to him. All the more so one who merits to extend to him a flame for the pipe — meaning for a lulke [pipe]. When I will be old like Rabbi Baruch, I will sit in a house [my house] of gold, of silver — certainly!"></span>
