There are Tzadikim who reveal and say immediately what they see. And these Tzadikim — their souls are from the aspect of the letters Mem-Nun-Tzadi-Pei-Chaf [the final forms of letters]. And this is: "The letters Mem-Nun-Tzadi-Pei-Chaf — the Seers said them" (137). These who are from the aspect of Mem-Nun-Tzadi-Pei-Chaf — which is the aspect of contraction [tzimtzum] as is known (138) — what they see and behold, they say, and they cannot retain it within themselves.

But there are Tzadikim whose root is from the aspect of expansion [hitpashtus], and they can retain and hold what they see. For they have the capacity to receive it within themselves and to wait until they deem it proper to reveal — and they reveal it when they see fit. 137. RAK: The final letters. Shabbas 104a.

138. RAK: Eitz Chaim, Gate of the Discourse of the Tzelem.
