אות - יא

How fortunate are we that Hashem Yisburach has done so very much good for us, that we have merited the sanctity of Israel. And he said that he has great joy that he merited to be in the Land of Israel.[28] Because how many obstacles and how many confusions and how many thoughts and how many delays and complications did he have regarding the journey to the Land of Israel, and obstacles on account of money. And he leaped over all of them and completed the holy deed in perfection and was in the Land of Israel. And he said: This I believe and also I know a great deal in this matter — that all the movements and all the thoughts and all the types of devotions that one does for the sake of any holy deed, not a single movement and not a single thought is ever lost whatsoever. And when one merits to break through all the obstacles and to complete the holy deed, then from all the movements and thoughts and confusions that he had in that matter — before he broke through and passed over all the obstacles, at the time he was uncertain and confused and was standing on the scale as to whether to do this thing, and the obstacles were preventing him from every side — afterwards, when he merits to pass over all of this and to break through everything, then all those obstacles and all those thoughts and movements and confusions transform into lofty and elevated things in the realm of holiness, and everything is inscribed above for good, every single movement that he had beforehand as mentioned. Fortunate is one who merits to leap over all the obstacles and merits to complete and to accomplish any good holy deed!
