My dear heart, Mr. Zalman Shazar, who thinks thoughts and plans to announce and illuminate the light of Truth in the world, which is the light of the True Tzaddik, the light of lights, the aspect of the light of Messiah. Who shines upon us the light of revelation of the Blessed G-d also in the dark and embittered places that are in this dark generation, and breaks and subdues and throws down and nullifies from the world all the books of the heretics and investigators, who lean to the side of heresy and denial [of G-d]. And all of the arrogance and the authority of the false leaders, who put hatred and hostility between Israel and their Father in Heaven. May Hashem command for you the blessing and the life.

Old age and greyness have pounced upon us. And our strength is weak and poor. And the haters of our souls, the fire of lusts, have multiplied and gained strength from all the sides, almost without measure. And our soul is deranged in the depths of the muddy sludge of the lusts of this world and its vanities, like a stone placed in the center of the sling. And we are wandering in the world very confused and disoriented, more than a ship lost in the heart of the sea, with the stormwind blowing and raging, without any rest or quiet. And there is no metaphor or image to describe and compare the terrible pity that is on us. And we have no advice or recourse other than to flee and to fly to the Tzaddik. To roll around in mud and mire and to crawl on hands and feet between snakes and scorpions until we merit to draw from the holy spirit of the Tzaddik, through whom there is no despair in the world at all. And in every place and in every time and in all the levels above and below, even for the estranged who have bec ome completely distanced from the holiness of Israel, even so there is no despair at all. For in the huge power of [the Tzaddik's] great and awesome wisdom, he transforms the essence of evil to good. From annihilation to desire.

The essence of all the heresies and atheisms of the scholars of nature, who have erred to where they have erred, is the blemish in faith in [the principle of] the renewal of the world. That through this blemish they come to all sorts of errors. And the main way to suppress them and to nullify their opinions is through the True Tzaddik, of very great stature, the aspect of Moses. Messiah. Who draws down Torah in order to illuminate and to reveal faith in the renewal of the world and to nullify and to uproot the opinions of the scholars of nature, who deny the renewal of the world. The essential awesomeness of the strength and power of the True Tzaddik, the Master of Power, who is the aspect of the staff of strength, who stands with strength and might in the middle of the throat of the Other Side [the Forces of Evil], until she is forced to vomit up constantly. Until even the very distant and degraded, who already have grown old in their evil ways and have become very lustful and coarse, and who have been swal lowed into the stomach of the Forces of Evil, so that their hope and their expectation virtually have been lost, come and draw near to Hashem Yisborach, and many neighbors are added to the holy assembly of the Tzaddik. And through this specifically a wondrous rectification is made at all times, until in the end everything will be remedied.

With respect and love and yearning.
