0:00 The true ruach hakodesh is not the ruach hakodesh that the world talks about today, from the stories, that he knew like this and knew what he ate and knew what he drank and knew what people eat and drink. These are things that are not even levels, these are things that are the greatest disgrace. Every truly holy and pure person can see from one end of the world to the other and can recognize in a person's face all his thoughts, everything he does, everything he will do and everything that passes from him. As Rabbi Chaim Vital wrote in the introduction to Etz Chaim about his teacher and master, the Arizal, that all were revealed before him, and he knew every thought of a person, everything he does, even if a person immersed in the mikveh, he could recognize in him whether there is still a trace that he is still impure and still not pure. He always knew their levels and their thoughts.
0:42 And about the Baal Shem Tov, he once said that he sees everything people say when they come to him, he says, that those who come before me should come pure, that they should be careful about the mikveh before they come to me. So he said, and about the Baal Shem Tov he expressed, that the world is amazed at levels and attainments, but the true ruach hakodesh is what a person succeeds in drawing from heaven, what they succeed in bringing down and revealing, the hidden Torah, the concealed Torah, the Torah that Hashem, blessed be He, reveals and expounds in heaven, like all the holy and pure ones throughout the generations and throughout all the years who handed down to us the word of Hashem, and succeeded in drawing and bringing out from there the Torah and the new insights that Hashem, blessed be He, reveals and expounds in the heavenly assembly,
1:19 which is the main level and the main attainment and the main self-sacrifice, that a person succeeds in bringing out and drawing from the Torah of his teacher and brings it out to others and gives drink to the flocks.
