Last year around the yarzeit of the Noam Elimelech, Rav Gamliel Rabinovitz shlita said in a shmuz that whoever learns Tzetel Koton is mamesh a talmid of the Rebbe Reb Meilich
I must respectfully disagree. Without a living tzaddik we do not see the body language ,we do not hear the voice in all its subtleties, and we do not make contact with all the physical, verbal, and non-verbal aspects of the Tzaddik's essence.The tzaddik's teaching as written are critical but there is much more in a deep relationship with another person; friend or tzaddik.
