In recent times we have spoken about and emphasized strongly the necessity for each and every Jew to do everything that depends on him to actually bring our righteous Moshiach immediately. Since in these days (with the conclusion of the month of Nissan of the year "it will be a year in which I will show him wonders") "all the appointed times have passed" ("the end of Yamim (days)" and "the end of Yamin (days)") in the simplest sense, certainly our righteous Moshiach will come immediately. And [then] each and every one will point with his finger and say, "Here he (King Moshiach) has come." This means that actually he already came in the moment before this one, for the past tense is used.
Moshiach is found in the world in the time and place of exile, and in the situation of exile, for he bears the afflictions of the exile.
(As the Gemara states, "Rav said, if he is from the living, he is like our holy Rebbe [Yehudah HaNasi]." [And then it states,] "If Moshiach is from those that are living now he is certainly our holy Rebbe, who bears the afflictions and is a complete Chasid.") And he waits impatiently and longingly to reveal himself (from the concealment of the time and situation of exile), for the King Moshiach redeems Israel with the complete and true Redemption, after which there will be no exile, according to the halachic ruling of Rambam, "If there arises a king from the house of David, etc." ...And there (at the beginning of the discussion): "the School of Rabbi Shilah said, Shiloh is his name, as it is written, "until Shiloh comes"; the School of Rabbi Yannai said, Yinun is his name (similar to Yannai, [thus] each one explained the name of Moshiach after his name), as it is written, "May his name endure forever, as long as the sun, may his name be perpetuated (Yinun)"; the School of Rabbi Chaninah said, Chaninah is his name, as it is written, "I will show you no favor;" others say Menachem ben Chizkiyahu is his name, as it is written, "for far from me is a comforter to revive my spirit."
And we (Chassidim) follow their example (in regard to our Rebbeim, our leaders, in particular My sainted father-in-law, leader of our generation): Yosef is his name, as it is written "The L-rd will continue [Yosif] to apply His hand a second time, etc., and He shall gather the lost of Israel, etc." Yitzchak is his name, as it is written, "Then our mouths will be filled with laughter [s'chok]".
"Rabbi [Yehuda HaNasi] said, which is the straightforward path that a man should choose for himself? That which is honorable to himself and brings honor from man." ...
