My dear Mr. Zalman Shazar, who digs and endeavors to see and to delight in the light of the Tzaddik's countenance, who is the encompassing Leader. The encompassing Sage. The encompassing Spirit. Who has within him the spirit of G-d. Who shines on everyone the spirit of G-d. And supresses and nullifies the spirit of falsehood, the foolish and stupid spirit of the false faiths, and the evil spirit, spirit of defilement, of the clever investigators.
My dear brother, my soul and heart. Peace to you. Do not fear. And even if our deeds are as they are and we have strayed like a lost sheep to a place of wilderness and wasteland, to a place of desolation and void, even so we should not worry or be nervous. For Hashem is with us and amongst us and near us and close to us, at all times and in every place. Just the main thing is to hold ourselves with both hands, with all our strength, onto the point of truth: that we have merited in these generations to a revelation of such awesome novel teachings, the likes of which have never before been heard. That repair everything and transform everything for the good. Happy is one who seeks refuge in his shade and walks in his ways, and hears the powerful voice of his encouragement: not to despair at all and always to be joyful about all the good points that still are found in us. And we must remind ourselves each time, especially on the Holy Festival [Passover] that is approaching for our good, about all the good that Hashem has repaid us in this awesome and exalted matter, that we have merited to linger in this holy, awesome, and exalted shadow. And he certainly will do his, to fulfill his promise to remove us from the belly of hell.
