My precious Mr.Zalman Shazar, who is covered with dust from the feet of the Tzaddik, in order to benefit from the pleasantness of his radiance and to fatten his soul with the splendors of the light of his teaching.
How very wondrous is your love for me. How very sweet were your words to me. And how much you gave me life with your words, my dear brother, when I see that, praise to G-d, the words of our exalted Rabbi [Rebbe Nachman of Breslov], may his memory be blessed, are making an impression on your pleasant heart, and are vitalizing and restoring your soul greatly. I am certainly hoping in G-d that He will increase His kindness with you, to enable you to succeed to do well in your destiny as well as your beginning. Be strong and brave, my dear one, to make yourself happy at all times, with all your strength, with all the methods that we received from the source of wisdom. Both with the good points and with the fact that we merited to know of such a light of lights. And in that He did not make me a goy [non-Jew]. For happiness is a great cure for all sorts of illnesses. Especially now that there is already in the world the power of the Tzaddik , the Beggar without hands. Who cures the King's daughter, the aspect of the generality of all the souls of Israel, with ten types of song. Accustom yourself every day to deepen your logical thinking into the powerful kindness and the amazing salvation that the Master of Wonders did with all of our People Israel, even in these our days, by sending us the True Tzaddik, complete in the essence of perfection, after whom there is no other perfection. Who is completely clean from all sin, who has not the slightest blemish, even the tiniest amount, even like a hairsbreadth, who draws down and reveals the free kindness, which sustained the world before the Giving of the Torah, through which he sustains and vitalizes the world even today, when the world is distant from the Torah. As they are distant. For he finds the Blessed One's life force even in the places that are far from the Torah. And all the evil that is in the world is pushed away and falls before him, and through this he gives life to all the simple people in the world, even the gentile nations, and all the distant ones who are lying in the depths of hell.
The Tzaddik himself is the aspect of the hidden kindness mentioned above, that can sustain and vitalize the world always, even if the world is distant as they are distant.
