We are just coming from the day where we celebrate the amazing gift of chassidus. This is not a yom tov just for chabad it’s a yom tov for all yidden. The Bal hatanya didn’t go to prison for learning chassidus with his chassidim, rather for spreading chassidus to the masses, meaning he was moiser nefesh to share chassidus with everyone, like we see from the famous story that is told that when he was sitting in jail the Bal Shem tov together with the mazricheh maggid came to him in jail, and told him the reason your setting jail is because there is a gzeira milmeila on you for spreading too much chassidus, so the bal hatanya asked them if he should stop, they answered no, aderabeh when you come out you should spread chassidus even more then you have done before (because the gezeirah will be bottel.
The point why I’m saying all this is because, if you think chassidus is for chabad your mistaken it’s for klal Yisrael. Chabad is not spreading chassidus to brianwash everyone that everyone should think how they are, rather to share this amazing hielikeh gift ( satmer Rebbe called the Tanya a heilikeh sefer…) that Hashem gave. That’s why we hold Farbrengens for everyone to come to beachdus, and why we go on tahaluch – walk hours every sholoish regolim to different shuls to share chassidus with everyone, and hopefully enhance everyone’s avodah.
So why not just try it out instead of being so against it, it won’t hurt, and btw anyone that really tried it never really regrets it.
It really enhances your avodah to serve Hashem better. Personally tested.
