###### Tzava'at HaRivash 30:1
[Tzava'at HaRivash 30:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tzava%27at%20HaRivash/r/30:1)

**בעת הלימוד** כשמדבר צריך שלא לחשוב מחשבה אחרת רק דביקות הבורא ית' ובעת הלימוד צריך לחשוב מחשבות הלימוד ומכח זה יבא לו דבוק באלקות כראוי.

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
When speaking in conversation, think only of adhesion-*Dveikut* to *HaShem*, the Creator, blessed is He, rather than other thoughts. When studying Torah, you must think about the subject you are learning, and through this you will properly cleave to Godliness.


###### Tzava'at HaRivash 30:2
[Tzava'at HaRivash 30:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tzava%27at%20HaRivash/r/30:2)

וצריך בכל פעם לעסוק בתורה שהוא עץ חיים למחזיקים בה. אבל כשמדבר רק דברים בטלים ויסמוך על הדביקות יזהר מאוד שלא יפול לפעמים מהדביקות.

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
One must always be occupied with the study of Torah, for it is,⁵¹ “A tree of life for those who grasp it.” However, if you are engaged in mundane conversation and are relying on your adhesion-*Dveikut* to *HaShem,* be very careful not to fall at times, from your adhesion to Him.
