The Rebbe's Blessing

"Does God’s love and grace pour out through the Rebbe? There is a concept in yoga of darshan, which is that God’s love and grace shines out through such a person and that God uses that person to bless others," I offered.

"Every person can give another a blessing," he smiled. "Tzadik is on a high spiritual level and therefore his blessing has the potential for greater impact."

"How does one who goes before the Rebbe humble himself appropriately? What does one do to be in that state of humility and service?" I asked.

"A Hasid who goes to the Rebbe prepares himself spiritually for that meeting. I travel to New York often. I know myself that the Rebbe gives one that extra motivation," Rabbi Eliezrie spoke happily. "In Chabad philosophy, the bond which is important is the intellectual bond between the Hasid and his or her Rebbe through the Rebbe’s teaching of Torah."
