Tuesday Menachem Av 16 5703
Chumash: Eikev, Shlishi with Rashi.
Tehillim: 79-82.
Tanya: However, the letters (p. 411)...see there). (p. 413).
The travels of the Baal Shem Tov when he first revealed himself were for three purposes:
Redemption of captives,
buttressing Torah and piety, and
revealing the Inner Torah (Chassidus).
The Mitteler Rebbe would explain:
The Revealed Torah [1] is called water; one goes to water. The Inner Torah is called fire; one fears fire. [2]
Therefore, the Mashpiya (the one who gives to another) [3] must go to the recipient and say to him, "Do not fear, for Hashem your G-d is a consuming fire." [4]
Notes:
Talmud, Halacha etc.
See Menachem Av 17.
Such as a teacher, rabbi, instructor of Chassidus etc.
A possible explanation: The Mashpiya says, in effect, "do not fear the fire that you see in Inner Torah; it is the fire of G-dliness."
