The Alter Rebbe agreed with the following conditions: 1) Reb Shlomo would not demean those who devoted themselves seriously to the study of the revealed parts of the Torah; 2) Reb Shlomo would not disparage those who had an innate fear of Heaven; 3) Reb Shlomo would teach his own chasidim that faith alone in the tzadik (pure, righteous leader) is not sufficient to enable one to ascend to higher spiritual levels, but that one must personally toil in one's G-dly service.

Despite their disagreements and differences, a number of years later when Reb Shlomo visited the Alter Rebbe on a communal matter, the Alter Rebbe treated him with utmost respect and deference.
