Chassidut

Description

P. 24. From the tzaddik's mind on Shabbos or Yom Tov to his chassid's memory to the written page - it seems like the tzaddikim's Torahs can only be understood by those who are familiar with the "secret code." We need the help of those seforim that tzaddikim began to write to explain the principles of chassidus; otherwise we can not hope to grasp the deeper concepts of such sforim as the Sfas Emes, Likutei MahaRan, etc. A path towards deciphering the language of all chains of chassidus and shining a new light of understanding on ones mind. Mistaking the enjoyment of mitzvos for ahavas (love of) Hashem. Everything in its right time, even what we learn. Too busy with life to pay attention to what needs fixing. What if we can't get our spiritual needs filled by learning only gemarah (talmud)?
