samthenylic: “To make NACHAS RUACH FOR THE REBBE”. Malkizedek / Shem was blamed by Chaza”l for mentioning Avrohom Avinu’s blessing before Hashem’s, here you omit “Nachas Ruach for Hashem” completely. It is NOT the Rebbe who wants us to obey the Torah, it is the “Nosein Hatora”!”
SHY replied: “Do you ever try be a source of Nachas to your parents? I guess not.”
Parents get nachas from their children in numerous ways, and although Hashem certainly gets nachas from someone who is mechabed his parents, in line with the mitzvah of kibbud av va’eim, it is not the same type of nachas. E.g. Hashem doesn’t ever want a cup of coffee, but if I make a cup of coffee for my parents and thereby give them nachas, as a corollary I am giving nachas to Hashem for fulfilling his mitzvah.
But according to lubavitch the rebbe is atzmus melubash etc. and he has no outside desires or happiness. Therefore the only way he could possibly get nachas from someone would be if that person was simultaneously giving nachas to Hashem in the identical manner that Hashem wants it, through the fulfillment of Torah and mitzvos. So why mention nachas to the rebbe at all instead of mentioning nachas to Hashem?
