The Chozeh openly revealed things which demonstrated his ruach hakodesh. This practice did not sit so well with his rebbe, Rav Levi Yitzchok of Berditchev who once complained during a visit, “Did you ever see by us such open displays of ruach hakodesh?!”
“If the rebbe wishes me to cease and desist he should say so and I will at once stop revealing things using ruach hakodesh.” “No, you can continue in your way,” said the Berditchever Rav before he left.
The Chozeh’s son turned to his father in wonder and asked him: “If he really would have insisted that you stop, would you have stopped using ruach hakodesh to reveal things?!” “This too did I see with my ruach hakodesh--that he would not insist and let me continue in my way,” replied the Chozeh!
