A disciple of Rabbi Menachem-Mendel complained: "I come from Rizhin. There, everything is simple, everything is clear. I prayed and I knew I was praying; I studied and I knew I was studying. Here in Kotzk, everything is mixed up, confused; I suffer from it. Please help me so I can pray and study as before. Please help me to stop suffering."
Menachem-Mendel replied: "And whoever told you that God is interested in your studies and your prayers? And what if he preferred your tears and your suffering?"
