6202 —לא להחזיק התעוררות לעצמך

Do Not Keep Inspiration to Yourself

ב"ה, אדר"ח אייר, תשי"ח ברוקלין
The Rebbe writes that when one hears words of inspiration or Chassidus, they should not keep them to themselves. Sharing these teachings with others increases their impact, benefiting both the sharer and the recipients.

שלום וברכה!

 

... אף שאינו מזכיר עד"ז תקותי חזקה שיודע ע"ד המסופר בע"פ וגם בהנדפסים, שצ"ל עין איש הישראלי טובה גם בשל אחרים, וכששומעים דברי התעוררות ודברי חסידות, לא להטמינם בצלחת, שאז ע"פ הרוב אינו פועל אפילו על עצמו, אלא להשתדל למסור אותם גם לאחרים שאז מתגדלת גם הפעולה בהנוגע לעצמו, וכנראה במוחש וע"ד מארז"ל, ומתלמידי יותר מכולם.

B"H, Eve of Rosh Chodesh Iyar, 5718.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

... Even though you do not mention this, I strongly hope that you are aware of what is told orally and also in print: that the eye of a Jewish person should be good also for others. When one hears words of inspiration and words of Chassidus, one should not hide them away on a plate, for then usually it does not even have an effect on oneself. Rather, one should strive to share them with others; then the effect is even greater regarding oneself, as is clearly seen and as our Sages say: 'From my students more than from all.'


Summary

The Rebbe teaches that sharing inspiration and Chassidus with others amplifies its impact for everyone involved—including oneself. Do not keep spiritual awakening private; spreading it multiplies its effect.
