The Study of Chassidus is Compared to Pearls

The study of Chassidus is compared to pearls. If someone claims, “I am not the type to go after pearls; it is enough for me that my clothes are not torn,” we can answer that Moshiach is “standing behind our wall” and we have to be ready for the Redemption when we will have the “wedding” with G-d – and for the wedding, we need pearls!
