From Tomorrow, He Will Not Bother You

A Breslov yeshiva student suffered from repeated harassment from one of his classmates. After pouring out his heart before Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, the Rav promised him that from the very next day, the harassment would stop. And indeed, miraculously, from that day on, the offending student completely stopped bothering him.
One of the avreichim (married Torah scholars) from the community of Rabbi Berland shlit"a shared a story of something that happened to him during his youth. As a young man, he studied in a general Chassidic yeshiva and was the only student there who belonged to Breslov Chassidus and the Shuvu Banim community. One of his classmates harassed him for a long period of time, taking every opportunity to mock him, calling him a "crazy Breslover" and similar derogatory names.
Although the young man knew he should rejoice in the merit of cleaving to such a tzaddik as Rebbe Nachman of Breslov and his student, the tzaddik of the generation, Rabbi Berland shlit"a, nevertheless, the soul of a lonely student in a yeshiva where no one else is a Breslov Chassid is not completely immune to the hurtful words of a peer with a sharp tongue who uses it to demean and disgrace.
Pouring Out His Heart Like Water in the Rav's Room
On one occasion, when Rabbi Berland shlit"a was in Beitar, the young man went in to see the Rav together with his father. In the Rav's room, he found himself pouring out his heart like water, telling the Rav about his difficulties in the yeshiva with a student who constantly harassed and tormented him. The Rav listened to him and stated decisively, "From tomorrow, he will not bother you anymore."
And indeed, from the very next day, that student did not bother him in any way whatsoever, and it was a wondrous miracle.
