A Jew once asked the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Shalom Dov Ber: “Rebbe, what is a chassid?"
"A chassid is a lamplighter. The lamplighter walks the streets carrying a flame at the end of a stick. He knows that the flame is not his. And he goes from lamp to lamp to set them alight."
"What if the lamp is in a desert?"
"Then one must go and light it"
"And what if the lamp is at sea?"
"Then one must undress, dive into the sea, and go light the lamp.”
This means, no matter where you go, seek the light of God within! Upon the Red Road, the luminous world, we search the rolling hills. Upon the Blue Road, the
numinous world, we search within the tears of yesterday (heart) that feed today, in the blue seas of you and me, in the sky, in the streams, we rejoice! Here where the red (giving) and blue (receiving) cross in our flowing blood is the luminous fire's light of the dream, the middle (freedom in soul flight) and way of wisdom (vision questor). Welcome home family!
