Siman 392

(1.) He said: "How is it possible that they should not oppose me — since I am going on a new path that no person has ever walked since the giving of the Torah etc. Even though it is a very ancient path — even so it is completely new." (<span style="color:#b8a060; font-style:italic;" title="הַשְׁמָטָה — דֶּרֶךְ חָדָשׁ (שצב)"><that no person has ever yet walked this path, and also not the Baal Shem Tov, and no creature from the time of the giving of the Torah></span>)
