The Berditchever and Ruach Hakodesh

The Chozeh openly revealed things that showed his ruach hakodesh. This did not sit well with his rebbe, Rav Levi Yitzchok of Berditchev, who once complained during a visit, "Did you ever see such open displays of ruach hakodesh in our circle?"

"If the Rebbe wishes me to stop, he should say so, and I will stop at once revealing things through ruach hakodesh," replied the Chozeh. "No, you may continue in your way," said the Berditchever Rav, and he left.

The Chozeh's son turned to his father in wonder. "If he had really insisted that you stop, would you have stopped?"

"This too I saw with my ruach hakodesh," the Chozeh answered, "that he would not insist, and would let me continue in my way."
