אות - רלא

Someone from his people told me that once he asked Rabbainu, o.b.m., what is the distinction between a broken heart[418] and depression. He replied to him: A broken heart is like this — that even when one is standing among people, one turns one's face and says: Master of the World, etc. And in that very moment, in the midst of this, Rabbainu, o.b.m., himself said: "Master of the World" — in wondrous arousal and with uplifted hands in an ardent yearning as was his way. 418. RAK: See above, sections 41, 42, 45.
