Fundamental letter of Rabbi Shimshon Barski a descendant of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov and a historic prominent Breslover
BH Tuesday (of the Torah portion of)
Bihaaloaschuh 692 (June 14, 1932), Uman
To the honorable, my friend and my pal from way
back, Yitzchok Meir n”y (may his light shine) Korman.
Your letter sent to me with R’ Avrohom Sofer, I
received, and what you write that the suppression of your writing to me is due
to my short response to the questions asked of me, the answer to this I wrote
last week in (his/) a letter to our friend Yitzchok Breiter, because he also
wrote to me that the suppression of his writing is because of that mentioned
above. And even still I will write to you as well, a little of what I wrote to
our aforementioned friend Yitzchok, because really, if you look well properly
at my short responses, you will find in them much more reasoning than can be
found in the long responses from the rest of the men of our persuasion (“anash”)
who write at great length, because the medrash (-exposition) is not the main
thing,
However, I know our fellows (“anash”) of Poland,
that they love letters with abundant homilies (“drushoas”), and they desire to
be written to them of great supernal “hasagoas” (spiritual conceptions), and
they do not look at themselves if they find in the letters with the expositions
and conceptions mentioned above, simple true information to know how to actually
and practically behave, both, when it is good and when in distress, both, in
matters of the world and in matters of Heaven, both, in ascent and in descent,
this being the main intent of all the homilies and of all the conceptions.
And I can’t stand the aforementioned way, to
write and speak of great and wondrous conceptions, rather to speak of timeemoos
(unsophisticated wholesomeness) and simplicity, which (there) are included all
that is needed for every person on every level and in every time, and so it is
understood and explained in all the books of Adumor (-acronym for, Our Master
and Our Teacher and our Rabbi – Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman) o.b.m. to all
those who look in them with a true eye and with abnegation of his own intellect,
and this is the intended gist of Adumor (-Our Master and Our Teacher and our
Rabbi – Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman) o.b.m., because the main thing is practical
application for every person.
And regarding the keebootz (-get together) that
you write to me that they are drawing close from the whole country Poland to
one place for Rosh Hashana, and they are conducting all the good practices like
in Uman for Rosh Hashana, certainly this is a very precious thing, however, this
matter also has an enormous danger that there shouldn’t sprout from this Heaven
forbid any sort of appointment to any person of the keebootz (-gathering),
which is worse than everything, and every single one of the keebootz needs to
be extremely wary of this, that he/there shouldn’t be a catalyst for this
Heaven forbid, and that he shouldn’t have a part in this – with any false
humility… because until the coming of our Messiah it is forbidden to accept
upon oneself any appointment or leadership of any person, even if he is of our
fellowship (“anash”), just the holy view of Adumor (-Our Master and Our Teacher
and our Rabbi – Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman) o.b.m. hiddenly cached in his
holy books, he is the head and the leader of all who desire to draw close to
the truth.
And certainly, someone who is more proficient
in the essence of the intention of Adumor (-Our Master and Our Teacher and our
Rabbi – Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman) o.b.m., Hashem Yisburach has merited
him with extra strength to explain his (-the) words of Adumor (-Our Master and
Our Teacher and our Rabbi – Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman) o.b.m., and to arouse
with this whoever listens to his words to draw close to the truth, certainly it
is necessary to receive more/phenomenally from him, but all in the way of a
friend and pal, not in the way of a head and leader Heaven forbid.
And regarding your wife who needs healing,
without promising, when I merit to be on the holy tzion (-tomb, of Rabbainu Na
Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman) I will mention her for favor, may Hashem Yisburach
send her a complete healing amongst all the rest of the sick of Israel, and
with this I will end my words.
Your friend who wishes your wellbeing, material
and spiritual, Shimsho Yichiel Aspalin Barski
ב"ה ג' בהעלותך תרצ"ב אומין
להנכבד ידידי וחבירי מאז יצחק מאיר נ"י קארמאן
מכתבך הנשלח לי ע"י ר' אברהם סופר קבלתי ומה שאתה כותב כי מניעת
כתיבתך אלי הוא מחמת קיצור תשובתי על השאלות הנשאלין מאתי, התירוץ על זה כתבתי בשבוע
העבר במכתבו לידידנו יצחק ברייטערם הוא כתב אלי כי מניעת כתיבתו הוא מחמת הנ"ל,
ואעפי"כ אכתוב לך ג"כ קצת ממה שכתבתי לידידינו יצחק הנ"ל, כי באמת
באם הסתכלו היטב כראוי בתשובתי הקצרות תמצאו בם טעם יותר הרבה, משמוצאים בהתשובות
הגדולות משאר אנ"ש הכותבים באריכות גדול, כי לא המדרש עיקר,
אבל אני יודע את אנ"ש מפולין כי הם אוהבים מכתבים עם דרשות רבות
ורוצים שיכתבו להם מהשגות גדולות ועליונות, ואינם מסתכלים בעצמם אם הם מוצאים
בהמכתבים עם הדרשות והשגות הנ"ל ידיעות פשוטות ואמיתיות לידע איך להתנהג
לעובדא ולמעשה בין בטובו ובין בעיקו, בין במילא דעלמא בין במילא דשמייא, בין בעלי'
בין בירידה, אשר זה עיקר המכוון מכל הדרשות ומכל השגות,
ואני איני סובל הדרך הנ"ל לכתוב ולדבר מהשגות גדולות ונפלאות כי אם
לדבר מתמימות ופשיטות אשר שם כלול כל הנצרך לכל אדם בכל דרגא ובכל זמן, וכן מובא
ומבואר בכל ספרי אדומו"ר ז"ל לכל מי שמסתכל בם בעין אמת ובביטול שכל
עצמו וזה הוא תוכן המכוון של אדומו"ר ז"ל כי העיקר לעובדא ולמעשה לכל
אדם.
ומעניין הקיבוץ שאתה כותב לי שמתקרבים מכל מדינת פולין למקום אחד על
ר"ה ומתנהגים בכל העובדות טובות כמו באומין על ר"ה בוודאי זה דבר יקר
מאד, אבל יש בענין זה ג"כ סכנה גדולה שלא יצמח מזה ח"ו איזה התמנות
לאיזה איש מהקיבוץ אשר זה גרוע מהכל וכל אחד מהקיבוץ צריך ליזהר בזה מאד שלא יהיו גורם
לזה ח"ו ושלא יהי' לו חלק בזה באיזה ענווה פסולה... כי עד ביאת משיחנו אסור
לקבל על עצמו שום התמנות ומנהיגות של שום אדם אפילו אם הוא מאנ"ש רק דעתו
הקדושה של אדומו"ר ז"ל הגנוז בספריו הקדושים הוא הראש והמנהיג, של כל מי
שרוצה להתקרב אל האמת.
ובוודאי מי שבקי יותר בתוכן כוונתו של אדומו"ר ז"ל השי"ת
זיכהו בכוח יותר להסביר דבריו של אדומו"ר ז"ל, ולעורר בזה למי שציית לדבריו
להתקרב אל האמת, בוודאי צריכין לקבל ממנו ביותר, אבל הכל בדרך ריע וחבר, לא בדרך
ראש ומנהיג ח"ו.
ואודות זוגתך הצריכה לרפואה בל"נ כשאזכה להיות על הציון הק' אזכיר
אותה לטובה השי"ת ישלח לה רפואה שלימה בתשח"י ובזה אסיים דברי.
ידידך הדו"ש בגו"ח (-לכאורה צ"ל בגו"ר) שמשון יחיאל
אספאלין בארסקי

Mastering the Ups and Downs
HH
Rabbi Nachman said that for him the greatest ups were easy to attain, his main devotion lay in bringing it down. So obviously this science and discipline is to be found in his teachings.
There were many great sages and kabalists, and many great revelations and how to merit to attain revelations and Divine Inspiration. But what about all the time in between, when one just can't be there? And one who does merit the ability to bind himself to the supernal, this can be like a fix of holy heroin, a blast out of this mundane world into true holy reality, but what happens next? And even though this is obviously the most holy achievement, can there still be a problem of dependency, need, and addiction?
Rabbainu has the solution!

The tremendous tikun (rectification) we accomplish when we are left incapable
HH
In recent times it has become very prevalent that even the most highly motivated and invigorated people are often left incapacitated, whether due to purely emotional and psychological reasons or actual physical ailments, they are left helpless unable to continue being productive for any given amount of time, be it an hour, a day, week, month, year, or years. So it looks like they are just wasting their potential G"F.
So here's the kicker that the Ramchal reveals.
The Prophet Isaiah revealed the suffering that Messiah accepts upon himself. The heretics try to twist these holy prophecies to mean that the Messiah chooses to sin against HY, G-d forbid, so the Ramchal wrote a little book to plainly explain the verses and concepts correctly. The book is called Kinoas (vengence of/for) Hashem Tzivu-oas, it is printed in the classic green set of 8 volumes (B"H yesterday I ordered 10 sets, each set is about $100, and B"H two sets have been paid for, $800 to go). The Ramchal explains (see page 132 and throughout) that the construct of the Messiah and the others who suffer ailments is that due to the sins of Israel they are deprived of conception (hassagah) of shefa (bounty) of Torah which they are worthy of, and they are left without strength and goodness - because shefa (bounty) and hassaga (conception) are the same matter. And since the Messiah is weakened so too all of Israel is impoverished. In this way, the Messiah is able to mitigate the prosecution and the onslaught of the Satan, and we are able to get by.
So all those described above, that are left without strength, chances are that they are connected to Messiah, and are a part of the tremendous tikun (rectification) which he takes upon himself for the ultimate endurance of Israel.
Also see the letters of the Ramchal letter 53:

ומה שאמרתי מענין איסור הלימוד. הענין הוא, כי אף על פי שלכאורה יראה שמניעת המעשה הטוב לא יהיה תיקון - לא כן הדבר, כי זה דרך פרטי המצטרף לפעולתו, שחסרון האור והסרת כח המעשה בקמום אשר הלב חומד - תיקון גדול הוא, מתהלך בדרכים הפנימים. וכל השמדות כענין הזה היו וכו' ע"ש. (ועיין לקוטי מוהר"ן קמב).
