신명기 18:6의 Chasidut

Listen to that which is cited in Maor vaShemesh, Parshat Shoftim s.v. “V’ki yavo haLevi…:”⁵¹⁴Deuteronomy 18:6. “For when a person is awakened...his heart aflame within, to discover the path to light of repentance...he would travel to the tzaddikim of the generation...and they would tie his soul to its roots...Yet we have already said that when one wishes to cleave to the tzaddik...that he should instruct him in his ways, he must cleave as well to those who grew up around the tzaddik so that they can instruct him how to draw from his faithful waters. For he will not understand on his own the ways of the tzaddik, without connection with and love of friends who already know his ways.”
