Chasidut for Yoma 149:6
(במדבר יא, ה) זכרנו את הדגה אשר נאכל במצרים חנם רב ושמואל חד אמר דגים וחד אמר עריות מאן דאמר דגים דכתיב נאכל ומאן דאמר עריות דכתיב חנם
He cursed the earth,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Gen. III, 17.');"><sup>9</sup></span> all are feeding from it. We remember the fish which we were wont to eat in Egypt for nought.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Num. XI, 5.');"><sup>10</sup></span>
Tzidkat HaTzadik
Times of descent which occur to a person in which he doesn't have any desire for Torah and service [of God] are a preparation for a great upliftment through the cry which he cries when he sees his fallen state and descent.
