I spoke last Shabbat about this Providence, which is the essential force behind all miracles and redemptions, especially the First Redemption, the Exodus from Egypt which took place on Pesach. I discussed it all in terms of the lesson "When the Holy One, Blessed be He, remembers His children" (Likutey Moharan I, 250). This is the reason that the Shabbat preceding Pesach is called the Great Shabbat, because all miracles and wonders are drawn from the end of time, the day which is all Shabbat, as expressed in the verse, "the end is coming, the end." You can look it up there in the lesson where it is all explained. This is why it is called the Great Shabbat. It is in accordance with what is implied in the verse: "Tell me about all the great acts that Elisha did" (2 Kings 8:4). This is the concept of "crying two tears into the great sea" (Berakhot 59a). Look it up there.

Afterwards, God helped me in His amazing lovingkindness and I suddenly danced a long time by myself. It was all perfectly spontaneous. All through His salvation and amazing providence. For all that happens with us every day is by no means a trivial matter and every person has to remember this every single day. And Mashiah will explain the meaning of what happened to him every day. It is necessary to remember this and to remember it well every day. Thanks and praise to the Living God that He provided us with the remedy before the illness arrived. Because we know about such an amazing lights of lights, the like of whom has never before existed! Do not forget all the kindnesses that God has done for us in this regard. It is an answer, a comfort and a cure for everything that confronts you every day. Just watch yourself and guard your soul carefully that you do not forget what you have seen with your mind's eye and what your ears have heard from the day that you became aware of all this until today.

It is good to thank God Who has helped me thus far to write you
things such as this, even now! It is fitting for you to bring yourself to joy over this on this holy festival, the season of our freedom. Fortify yourself determinedly to fill yourself with joy, especially on Shabbat and the holy Yom Tov, with all methods of joy! Watch yourself vigilantly lest the fact that you may not be as happy as you could does not itself become a source of sadness and depression for you. Do not allow the joy of the holiday to become a burden. Just accustom yourself to being a free man, because, thank God, we have someone who is performing on our behalf all the tikkunim [spiritual rectifications] we need at all times. It is incumbent upon us to joyfully praise the Master of All that we have been able to know about the one who is engaging in the rectification of our souls for all eternity. You have already heard a lot of advice about how to banish sadness and to strengthen yourself in joy. May God send you, and me, salvation to be worthy of truly attaining the joy of Yom Tov and of making a completely new start, from this point on, in drawing close to God now and forever, Amen.
