Letter 363

[This letter opens mid-sentence in the source text.]

…Who holds himself in the bonds of love — to the Tzadik. Who draws down upon us new kindnesses that have never yet been revealed in the world. Through whom (the darkness and the falsehood are nullified — which are the filth of the slave — and the kingship returns to its place) — through him the truth is revealed in the world.

My brother — my beloved! Remember well, well — all the good deeds and the wonders that Hashem Yisburach has performed with us in this generation. (And we have merited to be counted) In the very extremity of our lowliness — that even we have merited to be counted with the souls who hold themselves to the true Tzadik. Through whom the falsehood of the exchange is nullified — and the kingship returns to its place. In the aspect of "and the kingship will be Hashem's" [Ovadiah 1:21].

…Who longs and strives to soar and to fly within the waters of (the daas) the living waters — entirely new — most wondrous and awesome. That transform and elevate from the mundane to the holy — from the impure to the pure.
