0499 - Dream to Become Rebbe - Rebbe Rashab

00:01 I'd like to tell over a story about the Rebbe Rashab that's not so well known, but the Rebbe said the story Shabbos Parshas HaMidbar Tov Shin Chof Daled. That's why Brengen Rebbe was speaking about the idea of malchus, that you can't be a melech unless there are people who accept you as a melech. And the Rebbe told a story that the Friediger Rebbe told over that once there was a person who wanted to become a Rebbe in a certain area. And if I remember correctly from what the Rebbe said then, even though it's not in the Hanoche, that there was a Rebbe who passed away, left over a son who was not fit to be a Rebbe, but he wanted to be a Rebbe, but the Hasidim didn't accept him. So when he heard that the Rebbe Rashab is in the area where he was, he came to the Rebbe Rashab and wanted from him a haskomah, a smicha, that he could be a Rebbe or that he's a Rebbe. But said the Mishgepast, he didn't fit that he should outright ask for that. So he wanted to ask B'derech Remez. So he came to the Rebbe Rashab and he said that the Baal HaChalom in a dream he had that he is a Rebbe, that he should be a Rebbe. And the way I remember, I think, I'm not sure, that he said that his father came to him in his dream and he told him that you should be the Rebbe. So he

01:05 told this over to the Rebbe Rashab, hoping that the Rebbe Rashab would give him haskomah, that it's true. So the Rebbe Rashab did not answer anything. So he came to him again, thinking that the Rebbe Rashab didn't get the Remez, didn't understand what he meant. So he came to the Rebbe Rashab again and again he ignored him, didn't answer him. He sees it's not helping, so he came a few and a few times. The Rebbe Rashab saw that he can't get rid of him. So he told him like this, that next time when the Baal HaChalom comes to you, or the way I remember he said, the next time your father comes to you in your dream, tell him he should come in the dream to the Hasidim. So the Rebbe brought out from this vort that just a dokme that a melech, malchus cannot be unless the people mekabel you. You can't say, decide I'm a melech. But the story itself is an interesting story which teaches us that a person has to know anything that you have to do concerning somebody else. It has to be that the other person should accept it, but you can't just say that I feel that way and that's how it should be.
