In matters relating to his enemies and those who are envious of him, he should trust in the Creator, May He be exalted, and bear their scorn. He should not pay them back in kind but with kindness, and any favor that he can do them he should do, bearing in mind that his well-being and injury are in the hands of the Creator. If his enemies should cause him injury, he should judge them favorably and suspect himself and his deeds of having been previously evil in G-d's sight. He should plead before G-d and ask Him to forgive his sins. Then his enemies will become his friends.

 The Baal Shem Tov    would often say to his disciples: “Everything a Jew sees or hears should serve him as a lesson in his service of his Creator.” “In the Torah , water has spiritually cleansing properties, but when it is frozen, even the purest substance can be made into an icon of heresy.” A Jew who is religiously “cold”—who prays by rote, who is dispassionate about the rituals and who is unmoved by  Torah —might quickly slide into irreverence and even, G‑d forbid, heresy. Hence the chassidic adage, “A narrow divide separates coldness from heresy.” “And Korach took,” is translated in the Targum as “And Korach divided,” and in the Sefer Noam Elimelech,  Reb Elimelech of Liszensk compares Korach’s dissension to the firmament which  G‑d  created on the second day to divide between the higher and lower waters. He sought the priesthood, but as an office entirely remote from the people. Hence his accusation, “Why do you elevate yourselves?” In his eyes, ...

 When asked by someone higher or lower than himself to do something, he should try to do it with all his heart and focus his mind on carrying it out, provided that he is able and that the one who asked him is worthy of the effort.  Then he should put his trust in GD for its accomplishment.  If GD brings it about through the agency and uses him as the instrument for benefiting his fellow man, he should offer thanks for this privilege.  But if, after going through much trouble and effort, he is prevented from doing so and is unable to fulfill his neighbor's request, he should not blame himself and should inform his friend that he tried his best  

 "Send for yourself men."  When we perform a mitzvah, we create angels, and therefore the mitzvah must be performed with pure thought while subduing our base traits before H''shem.   MiPeninei Noam Elimelch   In the days of the Ba'al Shem Tov, Jews neglected service of the heart, including joy and trust, and focused only on the wisdom of the Torah. It was declared and accepted that simple people could not draw near to  H'shem nor could they have any spiritual significance, and as a result, many Jews drifted away. But then H'shem took pity and sent the Ba'al Shem Tov to show the value of each Jew, especially those who served H'shem with joy and simplicity, derived from pure meditations   I shall Raise up Wings of Dawn

 If one's request is not carried out for him by any of them, he should not blame them or attribute to them negligence, but he should thank GD for having chosen what was for his good.  He should also thank them in accordance with what he knows of their effort to fulfill his request, even though it wasn't carried out as he and they had wished.  He should also conduct himself this way in his relationships with intimates and friends, business associates, employees, and partners   

When one asks something of another, he should consider the ability of the weak to perform it equal to that of the strong and rely on GD may He be exalted, for its achievement. If it is carried out by one of them, he should thank the Creator, May He be exalted, Who fulfilled his wishes, and also thank the one through whom it was carried out for his goodwill and for being the agent of the Creator's aid. It is well known that the Creator brings about good only through the agency of the righteous and only rarely brings about loss through them. 

   The   Baal Shem Tov   explains   The Jewish people did not remain at Mount Sinai, where they received the Torah and constructed the Sanctuary. Instead, they took the Torah and the Sanctuary with them as they set out on their journey through the desert of the world. Similarly, the kindling of the light in a person’s soul the goal of his education, should enable him to take this “light of Torah,” with him in his journeys through the world. By spreading the light of Torah through these journeys, every individual contributes to fulfilling the purpose of all existence the establishment of a dwelling for G‑d in our material world. In that vein, the journeys of the Jewish people through the desert are also interpreted 13  as an allusion of the journeys of our people through the ages toward the consummation of that purpose, the revelation of the light of  Mashiach . And then we will join in the rebuilding of the  Beis HaMikdash , where we will see the ...

The right way to rely on GD is as follows: When the need arises to ask for somthing from someon above him or below him he should rely on GD for it and regard the people as the means of securing it just as one tills the soil and sows it as a means to his livelihood   If GD wishes to support him from it the crop grows thrives and flourish and no thanks are due to the land for this only th Creator.   If GD does not wish to support him from it the land yields no produce, or it yields produce which suffers damage and the land is not to blame 

  Our Sages state  that with regard to a proud person, G‑d says: “He and I cannot dwell in the same place.” Thus pride brings about concealment from G‑d.  G‑d is not to be found where a proud person is; it is as if G‑d does not see him. This is alluded to in the extended interpretation of the above verse offered by the  Baal Shem Tov : “If a person will conceal himself in hidden places, because of his ‘I,’ I will not see him.” chabad.org Reb Elimelech told his fellow Tzadikim that the Maggid has told him that a Tzaddik has the power to help one do teshuvah. A passerby overheard their conversation and began laughing and making fun of them. "What are you doing sitting together in the beis medrash speaking about learning Torah and repenting? What is the use of Torah and repentance?" The holy Tzadikim stopped their discussion and began praying and saying tehillim with great passion, weeping and devotion. The passerby continued to mock the chassidim; he called them batlan...
