יֵשׁ צַדִּיקִים שֶׁמְּגַלִּין וְאוֹמְרִים תֵּכֶף מַה שֶּׁהֵם רוֹאִים.
There are tzaddikim who reveal what they see immediately.
וְאֵלּוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים נִשְׁמָתָם הִוא מִבְּחִינַת אוֹתִיּוֹת מַנְצַפַּ"ךְ.
These tzaddikim are in the category of MNTzPKh.¹⁰⁵, Nun, Tzadi, Pei and Khaf, which all change their form when they appear at the end of a word.
footnotes: ¹⁰⁵ The Hebrew letters Mem
וְזֶהוּ: "מַנְצַפַּ"ךְ צוֹפִים אֲמָרוּם".
The Talmud states, “MNTzPKh was stated by the seers” (Megilah 3a; Shabbat 104a).¹⁰⁶
footnotes: ¹⁰⁶ The simple meaning is that the rule that these letters change shape was stated by the later prophets.
אֵלּוּ שֶׁהֵם מִבְּחִינַת מַנְצַפַּ"ךְ, שֶׁהוּא בְּחִינַת צִמְצוּם כַּיָּדוּעַ, מַה שֶּׁרוֹאִים וְצוֹפִים הֵם אוֹמְרִים וְאֵינָם יְכוֹלִים לְהַחֲזִיק אֶצְלָם.
Those in the category of MNTzPKh must state what they see. MNTzPKh is a category of constriction (Etz Chaim, Sha’ar Drushey HaTzelem 2), and those within it are incapable of keeping a vision to themselves.
אֲבָל יֵשׁ צַדִּיקִים שֶׁשָּׁרְשָׁם מִבְּחִינָה גָּבוֹהַּ יוֹתֵר שֶׁהוּא בְּחִינַת הַרְחָבָה, הֵם יְכוֹלִים לְהַחֲזִיק אֶצְלָם כָּל מַה שֶּׁרוֹאִין.
Other tzaddikim possess souls from a higher level. They are from a spacious realm, and have room to keep their vision to themselves.
