Avira, If you have issues with Hashem’s complete dominion revealing itself through a human/ humans, I’m curious what you think of Moshiach? After all, it says about him that וירד מים עד ים ומנהר עד אפסי ארץ.
Some people tend to obsess more about The Rebbe because once you connect to the Rebbe, your connection to Hashem will be so much deeper and enriched.
Personally I’m so grateful and excited that I have a
doable path laid out for myself on working towards becoming a tzadik of Tanya and beyond, and the motivation for doing it- because of my Rebbe.
I haven’t seen anything else that would come close in giving me this gift and excitement for Hashem.
Just so you know the constant theme in Chassidus is Dirah btachtonim. The first stop for dirah btachtonim is that the Yid himself should be an expression of Hashem in this world. On a practical level- every thought speech and action. Including and especially divrei rishus. And beyond into the proper feelings for Hashem, kavana etc
