Sefirat HaOmer the Counting of the Omer

A comment was made to the Rebbe Rashab that the Chasidim of the Alter Rebbe "were always keeping count." The Rebbe Rashab took a great liking to the saying, and commented:

"This idea characterizes man's Divine service. A person's hours must be 'counted hours'; then his days will be 'counted days'. When a day passes, one should know what he has accomplished and what remains to be done. In general, one should always see to it that tomorrow is much better than today."
