סִפֵּר לִי אֶחָד מֵאֲנָשָׁיו: שֶׁפַּעַם אֶחָד סִפֵּר לְרַבֵּנוּ ז"ל, שֶׁדִּבְּרוּ לוֹ אֵיזֶה שִׁדּוּךְ וְאָמַר הָאִישׁ הַנַּ"ל לְפָנָיו ז"ל: שֶׁשָּׁם אֵין מָקוֹם לְפָנָיו.
One of the Rebbe’s followers related this to me: I once told the Rebbe that there was talk about my marrying a certain girl. I told the Rebbe, “There is no place for me there.”
הֵשִׁיב לוֹ: כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ לְהָאָדָם לֵב שֶׁל יִשְׂרְאֵלִי, אֵין שַׁיָּךְ אֶצְלוֹ מָקוֹם וְכוּ'. כִּי הַלֵּב הוּא אֱלֹקוּת וְכוּ' וְכוּ'. (כַּנִּדְפַּס בְּלִקּוּטֵי תִּנְיָנָא סִימָן נ"ו)
The Rebbe answered, “When a person has a Jewish heart, he has nothing to do with space. The heart is Godliness, and God is the place of the world.”²¹⁵ 68:10; Shemot Rabbah 45:6; Rashi on Exodus 33:21. The Rebbe’s words are cited in Likutey Moharan II, 56.
