Tinyana

Tinyana He Said That He Had Great Strengthening in His Service He said that he had great strengthening in his service and did not allow himself to be confused at all. And his way was that he would choose for himself some straight path, how to conduct himself in the service of Hashem [G-d]. And he began to conduct himself in those conducts and in that path that he chose for himself. And he would conduct himself in those conducts for some time. And all that came upon him, other thoughts to confuse him from that conduct and to conduct himself in another path, he did not listen to those thoughts at all. And he would push away those thoughts from his mind and did not allow them to enter his mind at all. Rather, he was very strong and steadfast in his mind and would go and conduct himself in the path he chose for some time. But afterward, over time, after several weeks, other thoughts would return and come to his mind that he needed to conduct himself in another path. And then, after a long time had passed, then he would settle himself and choose for himself some other path and order as it seemed to him then. But he did not allow himself to be confused each time from one service to another service and from this path to another path. Rather, he was strong to go in one path for a long time, as above.
