Ben, bikshu alai rachamim means to daven for me – literally every case in the gemara involving tefilah and kvarim say that they’re asking the tzadik to daven on their behalf. “Bikshu” = ask “alai” on my behalf” rachamim “tefilah, mercy” – ask for mercy for me. Daven for me.

Repeat, daven. For. Me.

Not “save me rebbe”

And i have no issue with what you quoted from the lubavitch text. My issue is with what i asked you and how you answered. I asked you if you pray TO your rebbe, and you said you do, and asked what the difference is between that and asking a live person for help.

Then you went back and quoted another chazal about asking tzadikim to daven for you. And then said that you only say what’s in the lubavitch text you quoted.

The text is from a time when chabad were normal Jews who davened only to Hashem.
