I heard [this lesson] in his name, which he told over in the name of another tzaddik who had lectured in a synagogue about why passersby tell the harvesters: “God will help!”

There are wicked people who are reincarnated in grasses that grow on roof tops. They have no spiritual elevation, because these grasses are not harvested. This is the aspect of “They will be like the grasses of the roofs… which do not fill the palms of the harvesters… and the passersby do not say, ‘God’s blessing be upon you’…” (Psalms 129:6-8). For they are not harvested, and no one says about them ‘God’s blessing’ when he passes by. They therefore have no spiritual elevation.

However, about that grain which they do harvest, it is right to say, “God’s blessing.” Through this it has spiritual elevation.
