אות - רה

Several people once came to see the Rebbe. He took a piece of paper that had his handwriting on it and held the paper in his hand. He said, “How many lessons are written on this paper! Many worlds are nourished through the smoke of these lessons.” The Rebbe then took the paper and burned it with the lamp.

Then he said, “There are many Torah lessons that have never been put into writing. Just to write them and draw them into letters is itself something very special.” 313 Likutey Moharan II, 28, 32. The Rebbe himself burned many of his writings; see note 216.

[That is, whilst the world may not yet be ready for these teachings, but to put them into written letters has a very unique merit.]
