When the Angel once came to Kremnitz to his father-in-law, the opponents [mitnagdim] in the town – wealthy people, people who thought highly of themselves – came to the house to see him.
They saw the Angel standing at the window looking out at the mountains – (Kremnitz had many mountains).
The opponents constantly heard about the holy ways of the Angel and they wondered – just to stand at the window and look?
The Angel said to them: “I look and see how a mere piece of earth has lifted itself so high.”
