Re olam habo: there’s a story of a chossid who entered into yechidus with either the Rebbe Rashab or Rebbe Mayarash and said Rebbe it’s not fair. As Lubavitchers we have it worse off in this world and olam having!
The Rebbe motioned how?
He continued:
Imagine a Poilisher chossid. He tells his wife he’s going to the Rebbe, and she’s all happy because he’ll get them. Less of brachos so she packs him a nice bag and off he goes. He gets to the Rebbe such inspiration watching the Rebbe daven the Rebbe’s Tish etc. A mechaye. Before he leaves he gets brachos from the Rebbe and off he goes.
After 120 years he comes to shomayim and they ask him what’s with your davening? Learning? Etc. Here says he’s from the chassidim that live by the emuna of their Rebbe. He’s dismissed to gan Eden.
Meanwhile a lubavitcher wants to go to the Rebbe and he barely escapes as his wife is upset he’s leaving again. No lunch. Gets to lubavitch tries to hear a few words of the Rebbe’s maamar, the place is packed he can’t really hear.
He goes into yechidus forgets all his physical work and asks how to serve Hashem better.
After 120 years, he comes to shomayim, the Malachim ask him Nu who are you? He says he’s a lubavitcher. They say, ah. Your Rebbe taught you plenty of how to serve Hashem in your own. So let’s see where your Ahavas Hashem, yiras Hashem? Not exactly up to par. They send him to gehennom.
But, the chossid continues, I would never exchange my gehennom for their gan Eden…
