Torah 114

What if being misunderstood isn't always working against you? The Nachman says there's a huge advantage to a hidden tzaddik. Because he's not famous, he can bring tremendous chef into the world without attracting the same opposition. But what about a tzaddik who's famous? The Nachman says sometimes the machlokes around him becomes his covering, [music] like clouds covering the sky. And here's something we can take into regular life. You're trying to do something good, build something, help your family, your community, grow spiritually, and people don't fully understand [music] you. Your instinct is I need to explain myself. I need everyone to know my intentions. Maybe not. A little hiddenness isn't always [music] bad. The same clouds that block the view, sometimes the clouds that bring the rain.
