Making A Living
After the Rebbe suffered a severe heart attack in his 75th year, he came back up from the depths holding brilliant new jewels of enlightenment. Wondrously, the jewels were not couched in the settings of the Rebbe’s immediate world -a world of study, meditation and prayer -but in the story of one who struggles to retain spirituality while squeezing the world for a paycheck.
Those who had taken career advice from the Rebbe now realized how intimately he lived with them in their struggle.
When the world was made the most blinding sparks of light fell to the lowest places. So there, in the super-fragmented world of money and eking out a living, there the Rebbe sees no dichotomy, nothing separate from G‑d -only a grand purpose, a great mine in which to discover divine jewels of such value, they have never seen the light of day.

All is but a cloud of interface between His giving hand and your soul…

Enter into an ark of contemplation and prayer and let the floods of life lift you high.

Before the beginning, G-d saw your struggle and He saw that you would win. And so He created a world.

All the mighty waters of this world can never extinguish the love that burns inside your soul. They can only lift it higher.

Trust in G-d transforms you, lifts you, and enables you to receive G-d’s goodness.

The greater the hardship, the more wondrous the good it bears. Embrace that wonder and it will open itself to you.

When you trust in the One Above you are confident in what you are doing right now.

Every one of us must have two careers. A spiritual career to change ourselves. And a material career to bring that down to earth.

Think of everything you have as manna from heaven and you will never be dissatisfied.

Profound advise Wish I had met the Rebbe & gotten a bracha

Good shabbos!
The Rebbe is still available to us, as taught now more than ever before, at the Ohel. Whether we have the opportunity to visit there, a special experience to be sure, or write to him to have a letter read there. The caring and concern for the people Israel, for all people, has grown exponentially to help us all become closer to the Aibishter, to serving the Holy One Blessed be He, bringing Moshiach, now.
