You have the zechus of having a Tzadik in your house he gives u a ברכה it’s a contradiction to התקשרות. In your view Rav Dovid Avichetzera Bracha is worse than a הדיוט. Kramer kiup.
Suppose, you happen to be visiting another Rebbe,
not necessarily for the purpose of getting a bracha; or,
you may be hosting a Rebbe in your home. If the Rebbe
wants to give you a bracha, are we suppose to decline it?
Please learn the maimer “Bayoim Ashtei Osor” Hei Tof Shin Lamed Alef. And this will clear lots of Questions – Because the entire view will become totally Different from what it was before.
Actually getting a bracha means following the Rebbe’s directives such as learning chitas, promoting ahavas yisroel through mivtzoyim and a lot of hard work.
BS”D I am friends with a Schliach in Israel. He had a friend (could be a fellow Schliach but don’t remember) who did not have children for many years. My friend offered to take him to all of the Kovorim in Israel. His friends response- I will have children from the Rebbe’s Brochos only.
The good Rabbi should have elaborated on what is “Hiskasrus” to YOUR Rebbe, How a Chosid connects all 5 levels of his soul to his Master, his Teacher , his Rebbe. Once that deep and holy connection is in place the desire of having another Rebbe redeem your soul becomes a non issue.
Also, as a Lubavitcher Chossid we believe that even though there are many holy Rebbes and Tzadikim, the Tzadik that is the foundation of your generation is one and only one. (Tzadik Yisod Olam – in the singular.)
