[Tzava'at HaRivash 31:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tzava%27at%20HaRivash/r/31:1)

[ריבעש"ט אמר כשהוא דבוק בבורא ית' ונופל לו מחשבה מאיזה דבר מסתמא הוא כך כמו שנופל לו במחשבתו וזהו רוה"ק מעט. גם אמר]

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
Rabbi Yisroel Baal Shem Tov said that when he is in a state of adhesion (*Dveikut*) to *HaShem,* the Creator, blessed is He, and a thought about something falls into his mind, it presumably is just as it arose in his thought. This is a measure of Divine Inspiration (*Ru’ach HaKodesh*).


###### Tzava'at HaRivash 31:2
[Tzava'at HaRivash 31:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tzava%27at%20HaRivash/r/31:2)

מכח התורה שלמד באותו יום. ואח"כ נזדמן לו דבר לעשות ואינו יודע אם לעשות אם לא. יכול להבין מכח אותו הענין שלמד איך יעשה ובלבד שיהי' תמיד דבוק בהשי"ת אז יזמין לו השי"ת תמיד שידע מכח התורה.

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
He also said that from the power of the Torah that a person learns on a given day, when he has the opportunity to do something, but does not know if he should do it or not, he can understand how to proceed through the power of the Torah subject that he learned. This holds true on condition that he is in a constant state of adhesion-*Dveikut* to *HaShem*, blessed is He. If this is so, *HaShem* will arrange that he will know what to do through the power of the Torah.

[Tzava'at HaRivash 31:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tzava%27at%20HaRivash/r/31:3)

אבל אדם שהלך בקרי עם השי"ת אז השי"ת הולך עמו ג"כ באקראי וגם אינו מזמין לו מלבושים ומאכלים שיש בהם ניצוצות השייכים לשורש נשמתו לתקנם:

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
In contrast, if a person relates to *HaShem* by way of happenstance, then *HaShem* likewise relates to him through happenstance.⁵² Moreover*, HaShem* does not arrange garments and sustenance for him that contain those sparks of Godliness that relate to the root of his soul, so that he may rectify them.
