Letter 127

The adversary always lies in ambush for the person — and especially regarding his end. Particularly now in these generations. And it is impossible to leap and to jump over the Gehennom — which is this world — except through the power of the true Tzadik and his holy, most deep and sincere counsels — which are very simple for each and every one — in every place and at every time. Until the holy fragrances from the holy words enter into our hearts for fulfillment and for action.

The essential final redemption — which we hope and look forward to — is only through the daas of the true Tzadik — who is the aspect of Moshe-Moshiach — who draws down the daas in every generation forever. But it is concealed and hidden in many concealments within concealments. And even though the daas is before our very eyes — even so it is not seen — because of the multitude of the concealments and the hiddennesses. And the essential thing is through the immensity of the dispute and the accusation against the true Tzadik and his truly worthy people of this generation. As is well known — the pain of the spreading affliction of this great dispute and the difficulties and confusions — which is so hard upon the true Tzadik and his people. All of which flows from the lack of daas — because of corruptions and blemishes, etc. of the vanities of this world.

Be strong and courageous in all the things that you have heard before — and remember every time the immensity of the greatness and the awesomeness of the power of the elder of elders of holiness — in whose shade we shelter. For through his immense power — certainly everything will be repaired — with the help of Hashem Yisburach.
