The Ropshitzer once visited the Kozhnitzer Magid.
The Kozhnitzer used to explain even the deepest and loftiest concepts in Kabbalah and Chassidus in such an easy and simple fashion that even a simple Jew was able to comprehend it.
The Ropshitzer had a question regarding a Kabbalistic topic, and he discussed it with the Kozhnitzer.
The Kozhnitzer explained the concept in his style through the use of metaphors that even a child could understand; however, they contained deep thoughts and ideas.
While they were conversing the Ropshitzer’s wagon driver, a simpleton and coarse individual, entered.
He listened to the conversation and broke out in laughter. [As if] even he understood the conversation.
The Ropshitzer got very angry, and he said to the wagon driver: “You insolent person, get out of here. Fool, you believe that you understand what we are talking about – it is too deep for you.”
