Due to the existence of true Tzadikim of very great level who are accustomed to speak of great wondrous things — for they can truly perform great things and serve Hashem in every matter in the world — even in eating and drinking and the like. And there are Tzadikim who can make a redemption through their eating. And because there are such true Tzadikim — there are also liars who boast of great and wondrous things like these. And there are some who are leaders of the generation — and mislead the world — as if nothing is beyond them and everything is in their hands. And all this is because there are true Tzadikim who truly have this power. Therefore they imitate them — like a monkey before a human. And they are called false prophets. But in truth they do good for the true Tzadikim. For there are those who give charity — and they are wicked and immoral. And their charity is harmful to the true Tzadik. Therefore it is a good thing that the above-mentioned liars exist — for through this the above-mentioned wicked ones turn to them with their charity. For Hashem Yisborach causes the wicked to stumble — so they give their charity to the above-mentioned liars. And through this the true Tzadik is saved from their charity. The true Tzadik receives the word of his holy mouth from generous people.
