### Part 1 — Preparing to Travel to the Tzaddik

- Scene 3 · LM II:45 §1 · paragraph §1.1
  - HE: בְּעִנְיַן בְּנֵי־אָדָם שֶׁרוֹצִים וּמְכִינִים עַצְמָן כַּמָּה פְּעָמִים לִנְסֹעַ לְצַדִּיק הָאֱמֶת, וְאַחַר־כָּךְ יֵשׁ לָהֶם מְנִיעוֹת, וְנִמְנָעִים –
  - EN (our paraphrase): About people who want to, and prepare themselves several times, to travel to the true tzaddik, and afterwards have obstacles and are held back:
- Scene 4 · LM II:45 §1, on the Zohar · paragraph §1.2
  - HE: דַּע, כִּי שַׁבָּת הִיא נְקֻדָּה הַפְּנִימִיוּת, וּמִמֶּנָּהּ יוֹנְקִים כָּל הַשִּׁשָּׁה יָמִים, שֶׁהֵם בְּחִינַת הָעִגּוּלִים סְבִיב הַנְּקֻדָּה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב בַּזֹּהַר וְכַמּוּבָא.
  - EN (our paraphrase): Know that Shabbos is the inner point, and from it all six days draw their life; they are the circles around the point, as is written in the Zohar.
- Scene 5 · LM II:45 §1, on Tehillim 12:9 · paragraph §1.3
  - HE: וְהַקְּלִפּוֹת מוֹלִיכִין אֶת הָרְשָׁעִים סְבִיב הַנְּקֻדָּה, בִּבְחִינַת: סָבִיב רְשָׁעִים יִתְהַלָּכוּן, וְאֵינָם מַנִּיחִים אוֹתָם לְהִתְקָרֵב לִפְנִים אֶל הַנְּקֻדָּה הַפְּנִימִית, וְכָל זְמַן שֶׁהֵם עֲדַיִן בְּתוֹךְ הָעִגּוּלִים, עֲדַיִן יֵשׁ לָהֶם תִּקְוָה לְהִתְקָרֵב. אֲפִלּוּ פּוֹשְׁעֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, כָּל זְמַן שֶׁלֹּא יָצָא מִן הָעִגּוּלִים לְגַמְרֵי, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, עֲדַיִן יֵשׁ לוֹ תִּקְוָה לְהִתְקָרֵב אֶל הַנְּקֻדָּה הַפְּנִימִיוּת, אֲבָל מִי שֶׁכְּבָר יָצָא לְגַמְרֵי, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, מִן הָעִגּוּלִים, כְּגוֹן מְשֻׁמָּדִים, אֲזַי אִי אֶפְשָׁר לוֹ לְהִתְקָרֵב כְּלָל.
  - EN (our paraphrase): The forces of impurity lead the wicked around the point, as in 'the wicked walk all around', and do not let them come close inside to the inner point. Yet as long as they are still within the circles, they still have hope of coming close; even sinners of Israel, as long as one has not left the circles completely, Heaven forbid, still have hope of coming close to the inner point. But one who has already left the circles completely, like one who abandoned his people, cannot come close at all.
- Scene 6 · LM II:45 §1 · paragraph §1.4
  - HE: וְהַצַּדִּיק הוּא בְּחִינַת שַׁבָּת, בְּחִינַת הַנְּקֻדָּה פְּנִימִיוּת, שֶׁמִּמֶּנּוּ יוֹנְקִים הַכֹּל, כַּמּוּבָא:
  - EN (our paraphrase): And the tzaddik is the aspect of Shabbos, the inner point, from which everyone draws life.
