A story is told of the dames Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev. When it cam time for the soul of Rabbi Levi to enter into this world as a physical being, the Satan came to the Heavenly Court with a complaint.
"This Levi Yitzchak will be so holy, so compassionate and so truthful that all my efforts will be in vain. It is not fair that such a man should be born!"
The Tribunal consoled him saying, "Do not worry. Levi Yitzchak will be a rabbi. He will have so many demands on him, there will be so much to worry about, that you will have plenty of chances to do your work."
