As a bochur, Reb Nosson Gurary felt that he was lacking in true hiskashrus to the Rebbe. When he brought it up in yechidus, the Rebbe advised him on how to achieve “the best hiskashrus, the truest hiskashrus, and the happiest hiskashrus.”
A bochur from Eretz Yisroel, studying at 770 Yeshiva in 5727, asked the Rebbe in yechidus what he should do to fix his “coldness in my hiskashrus and Torah and Mitzvos in general.”
“Immerse yourself in Torah,” the Rebbe responded, “in any Torah area of your preference. Inevitably, your coldness to Torah and mitzvos will be nullified, and you will be mekushar.”
Reb Nosson Gurary relates:
When I was a bochur, I always felt that I was lacking in hiskashrus. Once, at a yechidus, I asked the Rebbe how to become mekushar to him.
The Rebbe responded:
The best hiskashrus, and the truest hiskashrus, and the happiest hiskashrus, is by becoming a lamdan amiti (true lamdan) in nigleh and a lamdan amiti in pnimiyus hatorah.
