In the year 5570, Parshas Noach (the 4th of Marcheshvan) we entered to him at night as was always our custom. He answered and said: What I do with you is a small thing before me. This you must do. (His intent: that is, what he engages in with us — to bring us in and draw us close to His service blessed He — even this is a small thing before him. And this thing we need to do — to draw people near to the service of Hashem Yisburach. But he himself has loftier service than this.) And I was standing and astonished as one wondering — for in our view there is no loftier service than this — to draw people near to Hashem Yisburach. He answered and said: there are naked souls (378) who cannot enter the body at all. And the compassion upon them is very very great — greater than over the living. For they have already entered the body and have children and have mitzvos. But the compassion upon these naked souls is very very great. For they cannot ascend above, and also below they cannot clothe themselves in the body as mentioned. And there are incarnations in the world that have not yet been revealed at all in the world. (The intent: for there are incarnations that were spoken about in books that were revealed through the earlier ones. But there are still more incarnations that have not yet been revealed at all in the world.) Also this characteristic — it is from the side of the incarnation, that the incarnation makes it necessary for one to have this characteristic — to always desire to travel on the roads and be ready to travel, and afterward it does not work out for him and he is prevented from traveling (379). 378.
