My dear heart, Mr. Zalman Shazar, who merited to join himself with the True Tzaddik, who is the genuine chosen head amongst all the chosen and true Tzaddikim, unique in their generations, who has revealed such truth in the world that it is impossible to damage it in any way in the world. Peace and life and all good.
You need to remember very very well, all the days of your life, each and every day, the great kindness of G-d that He did with you and caused awesome events to happen in His secret ways to draw you near to the True Tzaddik. Who extracted you from the place he extracted you. And he informs you that Hashem is still close to you and that He will not abandon His kindness to you forever. And even though you still are undergoing what you are undergoing, even so certainly the kindness and good that Hashem Yisborach has done with you is not in vain, G-d forbid, and in the end Hashem Yisborach will finish His and you will merit to return to your source in perfection, in the great strength and merit of the Tzaddik, for the word of G-d lasts forever.
Through the holy light, wondrous and awesome, of the holy Chanuka light, we draw upon ourselves the light of the True Tzaddik, who already drew in the perfection of the Redemption that will be through our Righteous Messiah. The main Coming of the Messiah is to reveal the Truth in the world. For now the Truth is in a great exile and everyone says that the Truth is with him. And the main Truth will be revealed through the Messiah. Falsehood is the side of death, and Truth is an elixir of life. And therefore the separation of truth from falsehood is an aspect of the revival of the dead. (The Truth is the aspect of "in order". Meaning that people say things as they are, which is the aspect of "in order". But the falsehood is the aspect of "not in order", since people change the matter and the story from its true order. The main mitzvah of the Chanuka light is to light and to illuminate the light of Truth in the world, that everyone should merit to know where is the Truth, that he lights and illuminates all the s ouls of Israel with the light of the Messiah, in all the types of darkness and gloom, and he nullifies all the darkness and all the fallen loves. And he saves them from mighty flood waters, that rise up all the time to destroy the world, to make people forget the Torah.
Hashem Yisborach in His mercy leads each generation with His kindness through the Great TrueTzaddik, and his proper and true students, who occasionally grab people and remove them from very distant and dirty places, and they start to purify them and to draw them to Hashem Yisborach and illuminate them with great light, with a great illumination. Even though there are many who fall afterwards from their level, may G-d save us, even so each time they try to draw nearer, because You are exalted forever Hashem. Always You have the upper hand, until in the end everything will be rectified perfectly.
(Now that the exile has lasted so long upon us.) Now in the great power of the darkness, the Truth is hidden, and one who turns away from evil runs wild and those who fear sin are despised. And in most cases people of truth are very pursued, because of the accusation against the True Tzaddik, and the main rectification is not to enter into inquiries and questions and explanations at all. Just to look at the real Truth and to guard yourself from stumbling in the net of the pursuers, with their smooth tongues and their cleverness and scoffing. And all this is harder than physical pursuit, for a mental obstacle is the hardest of all.
One who wants to enter the sea of wisdom will find it impossible except through a true leader, who will know all the ways and paths in the sea of wisdom. And who, with wisdom and wondrous craftsmanship, will make ships with which to traverse and to sail in the sea of wisdom. For one who does not receive from the True Rebbe, who is the aspect of Moses, the idea of constriction and boundaries of the intellect, so that he not enter into and comprehend that which is too much and too wondrous for him; and that he not enter into investigations and questions and answers, but rather that he will rely just on Faith. And if he will enter into the sea of wisdom [without the True Rebbe], certainly he will drown spiritually and physically in the sea. And this was the main miracle of the splitting of the Sea of Reeds [the culmination of the Exodus from Egypt by the Children of Israel; see Exodus: chapters 12-15], that the Sea of Wisdom was split for them spiritually, in the strength and merit of Moses our Teacher, peace be upon him, and they merited to traverse it in peace. And so too the sea split for them physically and they passed across the dry land in the midst of the sea. And the main thing was that Moses illuminated them with the idea of silence, not to doubt the traits of the Blessed One, an aspect of "Hashem will fight for you and you will be silent" [Exodus 14:14].
