Only the Rebbe's Ratzon

00:00 There is a difference between the Alter Rebbe’s chassidim and the Temimim. The Alter Rebbe’s chassidim came to him with a fully formed identity of their own. [unclear] There were veteran chassidim of the Alter Rebbe who came to him with an entirely fully formed identity. And those who came later were also chassidim [unclear], but they had an identity of their own. Chassidus was something additional that made them more complete, a greater elevation, a higher level. Their identity was even a holy one, but it was still an identity of their own. [unclear] But with the Temimim, even before they [unclear], from the outset, in the yeshiva, they let that identity develop [unclear]. A chossid had an identity of his own, and Chassidus was [unclear]. But in Tomchei Temimim, from the outset, [unclear] the bochur, the home, and the Rebbe’s self-sacrifice. What is Tomchei Temimim? The bochur is [unclear]. [unclear] means

01:58 that he has no identity of his own; the bochur exists only by virtue of the Rebbeim’s will. And what is the Rebbe’s will? That is who I am. Not this detail, another detail, or a third detail—one point. [unclear] The point that stands together with the details; [unclear] the point, the sum of all the details; [unclear] to bring out the point. That what matters to me is the Rebbe’s will, and that is who I am. What the Rebbe wants and why the Rebbe wants it—[unclear]. But that is a detail within one’s identity. When you begin with a bochur in Tomchei Temimim, [unclear], that Chassidus is an identity—from the outset, the whole matter is only [unclear] in the bochur. And that is Tomchei Temimim: [unclear] is the whole thing, the whole thing. This does not mean that a person is [unclear]. [unclear] But it does mean leaving behind one’s own identity, really stepping outside one’s own self-image. I am not Meilach, and this is not [unclear], and this is not Dovid. There is the Rebbe, and we all belong to the Rebbe [unclear], and we do the Rebbe’s will. That is our reality. Do you understand? That, that, that is the Rebbe. The identity is only a holy identity, [unclear]; but it already exists as an identity, simply an identity. But at the point of [unclear]

03:37 doing, and the [unclear], the name and the form, come in Tomchei Temimim—that is specifically [unclear]. Where is that
