Master of the Universe, master of all, whose rule extends to every place, You are the place of the world; the world is not Your place. Have mercy on me, for Your Names sake. Please grant me a really holy and pure heart so that I can serve You and fear You with a true Jewish heart until my heart becomes a dwelling place for Your glory. Let the presence of Your great and holy glory be drawn into my heart for it dwells in every Jewish heart as it says, “And I will dwell within them,” The main dwelling of godliness is in the heart, as it says, “God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.” Have compassion on me and help me so that my heart will be full of godliness such that no place in the world can confuse or obstruct me from Your service or from fearing You. Just merit me to recognize and find You in all the places in the world and at every level, for no place is void of your Godliness. Enable me to become merged within You with all my heart. Then, let all the places in the world become nullified to You completely and totally until they will have no power to confuse me, Heaven forbid, from anything in the realm of holiness. Rather, enable me to ascertain and find You, cleaving to You, in all the places in the world.
So, teach me and guide me at all times how to behave regarding travelling from place to place so that everything will be al You desire. According to the word of God I will travel on each trip, both in general and in every detail. In whatever place, let me find You and really cleave to You. Let me not get confused by any place in the world. Have mercy on me, for Your Names sake. Fulfil my heart’s wishes for the good. Merciful One, purify my heart to serve You in truth. Unite my heart to fear Your Name. Create a pure heart for me, O God, and a steadfast spirit renew within me. May the words of my mouth and the musings of my heart find favour before You, God, my Rock and Redeemer. Amen.

Through the wonderful and awesome Torah innovations that the great and true tzaddik reveals, the lowly Jew's status grows; everyone runs after him and comes to him to hear him because of the great noise created by the great and true tzaddik's Torah innovations which he reveals. Also on the Other Side there is one who grows because of this.

However much greater the level of the great tzaddik is and the more he has the ultimate humility, being really like nothing, so the more he can supervise and overlook the world, not like some people who incorrectly claim that because of the greatness of the tzaddik he is far away from the world.

Sometimes a person acts with speed and gains by it whereas another person acts with speed and loses by it. That's to say, someone who has been a tzaddik from his youth and has always followed the straight path when he is very fast, he loses because of this. For when he progresses gradually from one mitzvah to another he can ascertain also the holiness which exists between one mitzvah and another. But when he runs very quickly to the next mitzvah he passes over and skips over that perception of holiness mentioned previously. (See inside). But someone who has to repent, has to be deliberately extremely fast, to hurry up and run a lot to escape and save his soul. It is forbidden for him to linger at all in order to stand and collect his thoughts. He has to run and skip over what is necessary to skip over and to jump to the holiness with great haste. Such a person who is fast, gains.
