Not to forget about the Rebbe amaze us and sometimes it's difficult to understand them. Sometimes we become moody and don't feel like doing what the Rebbe wants in order to bring about the redemption. We know such people and even have such "people" within us. There's really no need to specify, for every one knows who he really is.
We are not so much to blame. The Rebbe is the King Moshiach, lives in the Yimos Hamoshiach, and speaks to us in the time of redemption.
We, on the other hand, are small people who were born and grew up in the golus, and in the meantime feel like we are really deep into the golus. Try and tell a person who lived two hundred years ago about a cell phone. He'll never understand what you're talking about.
While in golus, we're used to thinking only about ourselves. How then can we feel and sense what the Rebbe wants, someone who cares so much about the redemption? Now, in the last moments of the golus, we have to go through the biggest test ever, a time when we cannot see the Rebbe Shlita Melech Hamoshiach. While in golus, we see only the physical world and may see the Rebbe as an ordinary person. It's no wonder then that we ask the Rebbe questions.
No questions
The Rebbe Melech Hamoshiach informed us that "The Moshiach has come" something that will be only good for us. Furthermore, we should do everything in our power to bring about the revelation of the Moshiach. The redemption should mean something to us and we should already feel we are living in the Yimos Hamoshiach. The Rebbe wants to change our whole life.
But the yetzer hora mixes in and causes us plenty of problems. We don't always understand the Rebbe. We begin to have doubts and some things the Rebbe says don't seem right and might even sound strange. People who are really involved in matters about Moshiach, and remind us therefore were unable to understand and believe there was an outside world. When we will lower a flashlight into their deep dark pit, they will realize that there are other things that they were unaware of.
In a similar manner, when we begin to live Moshiach, all of our questions will just disappear. What does "live Moshiach" mean? It means to emphasize the importance of the neshama. It wasn't sent into this world to enjoy. Life is something else. The purpose of living is to bring about the Yimos Hamoshiach. We were created in order to carry out what the Rebbe wants. Once we are aware of this and act accordingly, we will then feel and sense what the Rebbe wants, the true and complete redemption – Moshiach.
It is possible to view the Rebbe differently and correctly. He isn't restricted by the limitations of the world and the golus. When we see the Rebbe thusly, all of our questions disappear. We will then achieve true rest as it says about the redemption, "...A day that is completely Shabbos and rest for eternal life..."
How do we get out of golus?
First of all we have to realize that we have questions because our understanding is limited. Furthermore, we have to stop living in a golus frame of mind and to start thinking redemption. All of our questions will then just disappear.
The above point can be illustrated with a story of a local landowner who threw a Jewish family into a hug dark pit that acted as a jail. The children that were born over the years were told by their parents about the beautiful world outside. The years went by and the parents passed away. The children were certain that the outside world wasn't a reality but only a nice story.
One day the new landowner decided to release them from "jail". They didn't want to go. The landowner had to convince them that there was a beautiful world out there and it was worth leaving. Since they were born in the golus, they only able to relate to it and therefore were unable to understand and believe there was an outside world. When we will lower a flashlight into their deep dark pit, they will realize that there are other things that they were unaware of.
In a similar manner, when we begin to live Moshiach, all of our questions will just disappear. What does "live Moshiach" mean? It means to emphasize the importance of the neshama.
