When reading this article about the Noam Elimelech my curiosity was piqued after reading this line:
Rabbi Nachman of Breslov says in his book, “Likutei Moharan,” that:
“The level of holiness of the holy Rabbi Elimelech is transcendent high above anything seen or understood within his book.”
My question: Is this written in the Likutei Moharan? If so where?
ספר חיי מוהר”ן סימן תקנג.
…כשראה (רבי נחמן מברסלב) את הספר הקדוש “נועם אלימלך” התפלא מאד ואמר:
שקדושת מעלת הרב הקדוש רבי אלימלך ז”ל נשגבה למעלה למעלה ממה שנראה ומובן מתוך ספריו הקדושים הנ”ל.
Sefer Chayey Moharan Ch. 553
When he (Rabbi Nachman of Breslov) saw the holy Book "Noam Elimelech", he was greatly enthused, and he said that “The level of holiness of the holy Rabbi Elimelech is transcendent high above anything seen or understood from within his book."
As you can see in the below images, a search for the word "Elimelech" (אלימלך) in Likutei Moharan did not produce any results.
For an alternative source for this claim, see the other answer.
