He had just arrived in Breslov, the town whose name the Breslov movement has borne ever since.
"I know of a place that would be most suitable, the Hasid replied, "but it's quite far from here."
"Far?" the Rebbe exclaimed. "What do you mean by 'far'? Far from the mind…or from the heart?"
Rebbe Nachman later taught: When your heart yearns, distance is no obstacle.
The Gentle Weapon
