In honor of the President of Israel, the longing of my heart and my eye, Mr. Sh. Z. Shazar. May Hashem enlighten your heart with the light of the wisdom of the Tzaddik, that will be revealed in the future to perfection by the King Messiah. And may He open your eyes to his Torah and lead you in the ways of his advice. And may you merit speedily to water the whole world with the waters of his wisdom, through which the world will be rectified completely.
At this time our entire rectification is only through the great Tzaddik, who can descend into the depths of the fall and descent of each person and raise him up with his amazing wisdom to the ultimate essence of ascent. And if the whole world would nullify itself to him then already everything would be completely rectified. But because of our sins not only do people not nullify themselves to him but just the opposite: the arrogant ones, the liars and brazen-faced, argue and say vicious curses and lies and degradation and slander against theTrue Tzaddik and his men, the truly proper ones of the generation. Until the truth is thrown to the ground. And this causes all the damage in the world. And from this is the main persistence of the exile. And now all our hope is that everything will be rectified through our righteous Messiah, who will reveal the light of the Tzaddik throughout the world. And will nullify the controversy and will make a wondrous peace in the world. By nullifying one's honor from everything in the ultimate sense, until one literally is the aspect of dust, we merit to nullify the falsehood and reveal the truth. And then he will merit to draw near to the Tzaddik and to live a good life, true and good. Whoever wants to go in the way of the truth and will have pity on his true life in truth, must be strong and brave and a very valorous fighter to stand like a pillar of iron against the obstacles. And not to look at all at the people of the world, and not at his father and father-in-law and his wife and other obstructers who want to distance him from the True Tzaddik.
The True Tzaddik, of extraordinarily great stature, tries very very much to raise up even the most alienated, who are lying at the lowest and least worthy level, where they have descended to the aspect of death literally, G-d forbid. And this is the main perfection of his high level. For it is impossible to go up higher and higher except by being able to go farther and farther down in order to elevate and gather together even all those who have been pushed away and totally alienated. And to connect also them to Hashem Yisborach and His Torah in perfection. And know that the whole essential redemption of our souls, in the most individual sense and the redemption of the generality of all the souls of Israel, depends only on this: that the light of the True Tzaddik be revealed and shine throughout the world. And to raise up the banner of the Tzaddik in the world, until everyone will be informed that by coming close to the True Tzaddik all the amazing and awesome lights that in the future will be illuminated by our righteous Messiah will shine upon the person.
Now in our generations, in this orphaned generation, when Israel has arrived at the essence of descent and concealment within concealment, until they have fallen wondrously to a place so distant from the holiness of Israel, to where Israel has never before descended in history. All this essentially is due to the old and foolish king, who is the source of all defilement of heresy and apostasy and false beliefs of the legions of falsehood and brazenness, who pursue after glory and power and fight with impudence and brazenness, to distance and separate the souls of Israel from the True Tzaddik, who is the main source and root of their life and salvation for all generations for eternity. And this is a terrible sin, more than all the strictest violations of the Torah, and through this they cause all the heresy and atheism and all the afflictions and destructions that come to Israel physically and spiritually and delay the final and complete Redemption. For the main Redemption depends only on revelation of the light of the True Tzaddik and the drawing of the souls of Israel near to the True Tzaddik so that all Israel will come near to him. For he puts into us the complete Faith, completely holy, through which they merit to comprehend G-d. For he introduces Divine comprehension also into the completely distant and alienated.
