B"H, 20 Teves, 5717, Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from the 14th of Teves.

I was pleased to read that Hashem has brought you two Avrechim who are influential in their circles and wish to study Chassidus (Divrei Elokim Chaim) with you. It is clear there is no basis for the concerns you mention in your letter; I am even surprised at your doubt. Our Sages greatly praised the matter of "to extract precious from base," and through these Avrechim you have been given this opportunity. Through them, words of inspiration from the light within Torah will reach those they influence and their friends—and this is well understood.

It is known that the inner dimension of Torah is called "oil," and it is a clear halachah that oil permeates everywhere as long as even a part touches oil—the analogy is clear.

May it be G‑d's will that not only will you agree to their request, but you will also seek out such opportunities yourself, and may Hashem grant you success in this as well.

It is appropriate to begin learning with them from parts II and III of Sefer HaTanya Kadisha—especially since they desire this—and afterwards Kuntres U'Maayan, in Sefer Derech Mitzvosecha by Admor HaTzt"z, etc. I await good news.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that one should eagerly share Chassidus with those who can influence others positively, dismissing doubts about their background. He emphasizes the permeating power of Torah's inner light and encourages actively seeking such opportunities for spreading its teachings.
