Sechel HaYashar,
“What the rebbe wants of me?”
“A Rebbe, in any Chassidus, is a Moreh Derech, someone who instructs you how best to live your life. This is not unique to Lubavitch. I’m sure Litvaks have such a concept too.”
I do hold that my rav is a moreh derech for me, because he helps me to clarify what Hashem wants from me. My rav is also very dear to me. At the end of the day, however, my focus when working on my life’s goals should be on Hashem exclusively, and the words I use and the songs I teach my children, should reflect that. If my rav heard me or my children singing a song about angst over what he (the rav) wanted from me, he’d be terribly upset and correct me at once. I imagine that the Lubavitcher Rebbe, ZT”L, would have felt the same way.
