The book was considered a book of Segulah, mainly because of what the holy Rav Rabbi Shlomo of Munkatch wrote in his approbation: ובכן אחיי שמעוני שמעו ותחי נפשכם שמעו אלי וישמע אליכם ה', קחו הספרים הקדושים האלה להביא ברכה אל תוך בתיכם וזכות המחבר הקדוש זצ"ל יעמוד לכם ולרעיכם להרבות אתכם ולהיטיב לכם בכל עניניכם - כאות נפשכם.
