Replace the Rebbe with it being about someone’s righteous father and look at how heartless, cynical and bitter it shows you to be.
Looks lve RDS: Rebbe derangement syndrome.
Note: All know that M”R was the humblest of all as well as the only one reaching the highest level of Nevus. But if you mean “the wisest” do know that whoever he may be, Mashiach is certainly wiser than even Sh”HM. But again, at this point I’m not expecting you to know these things.
I’ll give you credit for that last one though; since it takes some knowledge to understand it, and at this point we don’t have high expectations of you in this regard.
Yisroel veOraisa veKudisha Brich Hu chad Hu intimates that Yiddin and Torah are part and parcel with the Atzmus of the Aibishter. And the Nasi Hador (whoever he may be) is the collective manifestation thereof; being an individual representation of the whole Am, and one who embodies the ratzon penimi of a Yid which is rooted in Atzmus.
ALSO, this explains “veamaich kulam Tzaddikim” connected to “Tzaddik Hashem bechol derachav”, and “zedonos nasseh lo kezochiyos” when the shoresh/ratzon penimi of the Yid, Atzmus, is revealed.
This is also elucidated in the highest level of the Neshama, Yechida, where the yetzer hara doesn’t reach, but rather it is kulo Tov.
Again, you might not be privy to this, but know that that’s a chisaron in you, not them.
I’m sharing the above as a courtesy and responsibility, not for additional ignorance and cynicism from you. Note: the latter is more egregious and the root of arrogant challenges rooted in ignorance. You can accept the above or delve into it on your own; but certainly spare me the “I know better” about things you only first learning from me. No, you don’t know everything. And being comfortably familiar with e.g. YvOvKBH… but not what is related above is no justification for arrogant cynicism. And if you’re jaded for never having been taught such pearls, now you know the value of a Chassidishe Chinuch as opposed to one rooted in Mussar.
And now might be the time to let you know that I grew up in a cherishable Litvishe Mosad Chinuch (which one will be withheld so my ayin tov can proliferate more…); so rest assured I am not speaking from ignorance or opposition. It’s simply the nature of the two Derachim being Mussar is rooted in Yira and Chassidus is rooted in Ahava, and so their levels are inherent, in that Avoda maiAhava is the higher approach. Note: there is also Yira shebiYira, YshbA, AshbY & AshbA, so certainly no exceptions were made for each level. Also, it may be that throughout the course of our exchange my Litvishe background is more pronounced at times. I certainly would admit that it too can serve well, however we would surely both agree that this would have been more beneficial if I more consistently embodied my Chassidishe inspiration & [ever increasing] development.
Should you be interested in answering this question…:
Were you saying that if someone is called a Mashiach during their lifetime (like some Amoraim were), that one could argue that this disqualifies them from being able to be the Mashiach from Techiya?
Note: feel free to defer.
