Letter 348

Every single person must strive to seek and to greatly request his lost things — the holy sparks — that have been lost and displaced to the place where they have been lost and displaced — through the evil desires. And Hashem Yisburach through His mercies arranges circumstances — through His stratagems. That through the power of the true Tzadik and the worthy ones who join him — in every generation — through them — the many lost things among the aforementioned lost things are clarified and found at every moment.

Hashem Yisburach through His mercies conducts Himself in His kindness — in every generation — through the true great most select Tzadik and his worthy people of every generation. For there are times when they suddenly seize people and take them out from most distant and very filthy places. And they begin and illuminate in them great lights — with a great illumination. To purify them and to bring them close to Hashem Yisburach. Even though there are many who fall afterwards from their level — Heaven have mercy — even so they strive to bring close every time even more. For "You are exalted forever, Hashem" [Psalms 92:9]. And forever Your hand is uppermost. Until in the end of ends everything will be repaired in perfection.
