BE A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE
Not according to the sight of his eyes shall he judge, nor shall he rebuke according to the hearing of his ears. With righteousness, he shall judge the poor, and with equity shall he rebuke the meek of the earth. (Yishayah 11:3-4)
Moshiach and Chassidus are compared to light and vessel, body and soul. This description of Moshiach teaches the manner in which we should learn Chassidus and the effect it must have to prepare us for Moshiach. We are told that Moshiach will not judge people by what he sees and hears, nor by their actions. Instead, Moshiach will understand each person, what led him to live the life he lives, and what circumstances hinder him from fulfilling his true potential. Moshiach will uncover the source of the problem and offer a solution.
So too, learning Chassidus must teach us to understand each other. Instead of judging a person’s actions, we must see what is leading him to act this way and do whatever we can to correct this and lead him back to a proper life. In this way, we prepare ourselves and the world for the time when Moshiach will judge righteousness.
