Rebbe Eleimelech of Lizensk was a man whose intense desire
to be one with God was palpable.
Wherever he travelled people sensed his proximity to the Holy One that
they were drawn to him. One day as he
was travelling in a coach he noticed a trail of people following it. He asked the coachman why so many people were
walking after the coach.
The driver responded, “They want to follow after wisdom and
holiness.”
It is good to be learned. It is great to be humble.
