Siman 592

(149.) One of the young men spoke with him o.b.m. and said: "I want to be a proper man" [in Yiddish: "ich vil zain ain erlicher Yid"]. And Rabbainu o.b.m. replied: "But do you want to want?" [in Yiddish: "vilstu ober veln"]. And the discerning person will understand that these few words contain very much — as is known and understood to one who studies his holy and very wondrous conversations. May it be His will that we merit to fulfill them, Amen.
