**ואיתא בזוהר דעבד רעותא דמסכנא.** ויחשוב שהוא עני וידבר תמיד בדברים רכים ותחנונים כמו עני.

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
It states in Zohar,¹⁶ “One should always strive to be like a pauper.” Thus, always think of yourself as being destitute and speak soft words and supplications, like a pauper.

footnotes:
¹⁶ Zohar Vol. 3, 195a.  It is explained there that the prayers of a pauper always ascend and are favorably received.
