This if from Likutei Eitzot, a compilation of Rebbe Nachman's teachings, complied by Rebbe Nosson. Litkei Eitzot was designed to present Rebbe Nachman's teachings in a systematic way, and the following is the section titled "Eretz Yisroel":
"The motive for making the journet to the Land of Israel should be purely spiritual: to draw closer to Hashem...[m]erely by stepping foor on the Land, he will become merged with it and transformed by its sacred character. This is why even "one who walks for cubits in the Land of Israel will assuredly inherit the World to Come." (Likueti Eitzot, 13)
I plan to write a few follow-up posts to this one of the specialness of living a religious life and doing mitzvas in Israel.
