כשרוצה להיות בהתבודדות. צריך להיות עמו עוד חבר אחד אבל אדם אחד לבד הוא בסכנה אלא יהיו שנים בחדר אחד וכ"א יתבודד בעצמו עם הבורא ית'.

The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020

If you wish to seclude (Hitbodedut) yourself with *HaShem,*you should have a friend with you. However, secluding yourself alone is dangerous. Rather, two people should be present in a single room, each one secluding himself with the Creator, blessed is He.

לפעמים כשהוא דבוק יכול להתבודד עצמו אפילו בבית שיש ב"א.

The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020

At times, when you are in a state of adhesion (Dveikut) to HaShem, it is possible to be in solitude with Him even in a house full of people.
