[Sichot HaRan 214:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/214:1)

שָׁמַעְתִּי בִּשְׁמוֹ שֶׁאָמַר: כְּשֶׁאָדָם שׁוֹאֵל לְהַצַּדִּיק אִם לַעֲשׂוֹת דָּבָר שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ מְסִירַת נֶפֶשׁ בִּשְׁבִיל הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ, הוּא רָאוּי לוֹ לְהָשִׁיב וּלְצַוּוֹת עָלָיו שֶׁלֹּא לַעֲשׂוֹת. וְאַף עַל פִּי כֵן הַשּׁוֹאֵל אֵין צָרִיךְ לְקַיֵּם דְּבָרָיו.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
**ON ROSH HASHANAH**
I heard that the Rebbe once said, “When you ask a tzaddik whether or not you should do something for God that involves great sacrifices, it is proper for him to tell you not to do it. However, you are not bound by his advice” (*Yemey Moharnat* #35).

[Sichot HaRan 214:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/214:2)

כֵּן שָׁמַעְתִּי בִּשְׁמוֹ. עוֹד שָׁמַעְתִּי בְּעִנְיָן אַחֵר: כָּל מַה שֶּׁהַצַּדִּיק מְצַוֶּה לַעֲשׂוֹת צָרִיךְ לְקַיֵּם, רַק כְּשֶׁמְּצַוֶּה שֶׁלֹּא לִסַּע עַל רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה אֶצְלוֹ, זֶה אֵין צָרִיךְ לְקַיֵּם.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
I heard this in the Rebbe’s name. I also heard a similar concept. You must obey whatever a tzaddik tells you. But if he tells you not to come to him on Rosh HaShanah, you should not obey him.³¹⁹ 86b; *Zohar* III, 244a; *Magen Avraham* 170:10.

עֶרֶב רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה רָאוּי לִתֵּן עַל פִּדְיוֹן.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
The day before Rosh HaShanah is very suitable for presenting a *pidyon*.³²⁰” #175. The Rebbe taught that even things which cannot otherwise be corrected can be remedied on Rosh HaShanah (*Alim LeTerufah* #409).
