| The hasid who has fully activated this Elijah potential is the zaddik. |
| The wealthy Chassidim regarded it as a duty to support the zaddik liberally. |
| A zaddik once had a student who wanted to learn the language of the birds. |
| All and everything that the zaddik does and thinks has a decided influence upon the382 upper and lower worlds. |

| Chassidism and its necessary dependence upon the zaddik offered the masses the means of this forgetfulness of self through faith. |
