תּוֹרָה קלב

There is a Tzadik who is very famous in his place — but in another nearby place he is not famous and not regarded at all. And again in yet another place he is very famous. But in truth — even in the place where he is not famous and not regarded at all — even there the primary sustenance and vitality is only through him — only it is hidden. And this is the aspect of what is written in the holy Zohar [Ki Taitzei, 280a]: a spring that flows from one place and travels underground until it emerges and flows up in another place. And even in the place where it travels underground — it waters the roots of the tree.
