What is written in the Torah that speaks about the greatness of the prohibition of robbery and desire even in thought (269) (in section 69, Part One) — the interpretation on "the one who robs his fellow, he must lead him even to Madai" (Bava Kamma 103a) — that he explained: "Madai" means the Torah of Hashem, meaning the children etc., see there. I heard from his holy mouth that he said he heard that this Gemara was learned thus in the place where he heard it.

269. RAK: This Torah was said on Rosh HaShanah. At that gathering a Rabbi Moshe Hinkes was present.

Related to section 275 in Likutay Moharan Part One, which begins: "Know that every mitzvah etc. becomes a candle etc." — see there. Now I heard from one person who also heard this matter from his holy mouth. And he explained the matter a bit further: he said that there is one whose candle can burn only for a certain number of hours — he searches with the candle during those hours that it burns (270), and afterward the candle is extinguished and he has nothing to search with. And there is one whose candle burns a few more hours, and he can search more — but then it stops. And there is one whose candle burns one full day. And there is one whose candle burns even more and more. But there is one who has many wonderful candles such as these that burn and illuminate forever and ever and never go out. And he merits to search in the treasuries of the King [ginzayah d'malka] always, forever and ever and for all eternity — praiseworthy is he.
