Hey, everyone! Today, I want to share a compelling story with you about a Chossid who was on a mission to spread Chassidic teachings but decided to take a step back. What happened, you ask? Well, let’s dive into it!
This individual had been journeying from town to town, inspiring folks with Chassidic wisdom. However, he felt it was time to pump the breaks. Why? Because all the attention and praise he was receiving started to mess with his head. He realized that his ego was getting a bit too inflated, and that’s when he made a conscious decision to put the brakes on and focus on personal growth.
Now, here’s where it gets really interesting. The Mitteler Rebbe didn’t hold back. He looked at the Chossid and said, “An onion should become of you, but teach others what you must teach them!” Wait, what? Why an onion, you might wonder?
Well, the Mitteler Rebbe compared the Chosssid to an onion added to a pot. Not to be eaten, but to add flavor to the chicken and the broth. Just like that onion sacrifices itself to enhance the overall dish, sometimes you need to sacrifice your own personal growth for the greater good of others.
Isn’t that a powerful metaphor? It’s a reminder that in our journey of self-improvement, there are moments when we need to step back and let others benefit from our experiences and teachings.
