Blossoms of the Spring - Letter 26

BH 1^st day of Rosh Chodesh (-beginning of the month of) Tamuz 719 (Monday, July 6, 1959), Tiberias

My heart, the pleasant Mr. Z. Shazar, who roams and wanders in all the gates to search for the call of the songs and verses/riddles of the true Tzadik who reveals the real truth in the world to its utmost perfection, and nullifies the root of the grasp of falsehood in the root of its roots, fortunate is he (-you, in third person), fortunate is one who spends all his days in yearning and longing and desiring this. Peace (-Shalom) and long life.

There is a Tzadik, great, wondrous and extremely awesome, who is is a great and wondrous sage, and he has perfection of speech, an extremely awesome and powerful mouth, in utter perfection, and he is a very wondrous advocate and speaker, and he can say wondrous riddles/verses and songs/poetry so that there is not to be found any creature in the world that wouldn’t desire to hear him, and with these songs/poems and riddles/verses that he knows, they have in them all the wisdoms upon which are contingent the essential life and sustenance of the entire world with all the creations (all of them). And specifically this Tzadik appears in the eyes of the world like a stutterer, because the words of the world which are not praises of Hashem Yisburach do not have perfection, therefore he is speech impaired with these words of the world which do not have perfection. However, in reality he is not a stutterer whatsoever, rather on the contrary, he is a wondrous advocate and speaker with great perfection which has no further perfection, just, because of the utter greatness, way out, perfection of his prowess and his extremely high, and powerful, and awesome level, and similarly because of the powerful overwhelming oblivion and obscurity of this world, therefore he appears in the eyes of the world as a stutterer. And when the people of the world begin to take stock of their affairs, that is, to give thought to rectify the good life which was ruined by them, then everyone admits to the truth, that the entire rectification of all the tzadikim, and also the rectification of all who traverse the world is contingent solely on this Tzadik with the speech impediment![1]

All that is found in our words, any praise of the extremely holy and awesome Rabbainu o.b.m., it is necessary to know that it is all considered as nothing, and it isn’t even like a drop in the ocean, because it is impossible to relate his praise whatsoever. Because he was hidden in the utmost hiddenness from human intellect, and even great tzadikim, it is not possible for them to conceive a fraction of his stature, and we do not have any conception or grasp of him whatsoever, except through the few wondrous Torah-teachings that he revealed in his holy books and the awesome stories. Fortunate is one born of a woman that merited to such prominence which is high, high, and above, what the mouth can not speak nor the heart ponder. Fortunate is the man who has such a great merit to have his thoughts perambulate in the words of the holy and the awesome Rabbainu o.b.m. who has no equal, and from them (-the Torah-teachings) each person according to the fathoms of his heart can understand a tiny little bit where his (Rabbainu’s) exalted power and holiness reaches, to no end.[2]

Through drawing close to the true Tzadik, one merits to see the doorways how to get out of the darkness he is trapped in, (and) also he makes a doorway so that others as well can get out of their darkness, if they desire to leave.[3]

Due to my weakness, not upon you, I was compelled to conclude, and I call for peace (Shalom) with intense love, and eternal love, to him and to all that is his.   The transcriber and the organizer

[3] Oatzar Ha-Yirah, Repentance 27 – there it says these things regarding the attainment of truth. Saba interchanged “truth” for the drawing close to the true Tzadik. Throughout the letters Saba does this often, interchanging the prerequisite, whatever it may be, to the drawing close to Rabbainu, usually I did not get around to noting it.

מכתב כו

ב"ה, א' דר"ח תמוז תשי"ט, טבריא

ליבי הנעים, מר ז.שזר, המשוטט ומתפזר בכל השערים לחפש את קול השירים והחידות של הצדיק האמת שמגלה אמיתת האמת בעולם עד תכלית שלמותו, ומבטל שורש אחיזת השקר בשורש שורשו, אשרי לו, אשרי המבלה כל ימיו להתגעגע ולהשתוקק ולכסוף לזה. שלום וחיים ארוכים.

יש צדיק גדול נפלא ונורא מאד,שהוא חכם גדול ונפלא ויש לו שלמות הדיבור, פה נורא ונשגב מאד בתכלית השלמות, והוא מליץ ודברן נפלא מאד ויכול לדבר חידות ושירים נפלאים עד שאין נמצא שום נברא בעולם שלא ירצה לשמוע אותו, ובאלו השירים והחידות שהוא יודע יש בהם כל החכמות שבהם תלוי עיקר חיות וקיום כל העולם עם כל הנבראים כולם. וזה הצדיק דייקא נראה בעיני העולם ככבד פה, מחמת שהדיבורים של העולם שאינם שבחים לה' יתברך אין בהם שלמות, על כן הוא כבד פה מאלו הדיבורים של העולם שאין בהם שלמות. אבל באמת אינו כבד פה כלל, רק אדרבא הוא מליץ ודברן נפלא בשלמות גדול שאין שלמות אחריו, רק מחמת גודל הפלגת שלמות מעלתו ומדרגתו הגבוה והעצומה והנוראה מאד, וכן מחמת תוקף התגברות ההעלמה והסתרה של זה העולם, על כן הוא נראה בעיני העולם ככבד פה. וכשמתחילים בני העולם לפקח על עסקיהם, היינו לחשוב מחשבות לתקן החיים טובים שנתקלקלו אצלם, אז כולם מודים על האמת שכל התיקון של כל הצדיקים וכן התיקון של כל באי עולם תלוי רק בהצדיק הכבד פה הזה!

כל מה שנמצא בדברינו איזה שבח על רבינו ז"ל הקדוש והנורא מאד, צריכין לידע שהכל נחשב כלא, ואינו אפילו כטיפה מן הים הגדול, כי אי אפשר לספר בשבחו כלל. כי היה נעלם בתכלית ההעלם משכל אנושי, ואפילו צדיקים גדולים אי אפשר להם להשיג מקצת מעלתו, ואין לנו שום השגה ותפיסא בו כלל, כי אם על ידי קצת התורות הנפלאים שגילה בספריו הקדושים והמעשיות הנוראות. אשרי ילוד אישה שזכה למעלה כזאת העולה למעלה למעלה מה שאין הפה יכול לדבר והלב לחשוב. אשרי האיש אשר יש לו זכות גדול כזה שיהיו מחשבותיו משוטטות בדברי רבינו ז"ל הקדוש והנורא אשר אין ערוך אליו, ומהם יכול כל חד כפום מה דמשער בלביה להבין קצת מעט מזעיר עד היכן מגיע רום תקפו וקדושתו עד אין תכלית.

על ידי התקרבות לצדיק האמת זוכין לראות את הפתחים איך לצאת מהחושך שניצוד בו, גם עושה פתח שיצאו גם אחרים מן החושך שלהם אם ירצו לצאת.

מפאת חולשתי לא עליך הוכרחתי לסיים, ואקרא לשלום באהבה עזה ואהבת עולם לו ולכל אשר לו.
