== The Rebbe Returns and Transfers the Responsibility ==
Many became confused following the talk, fearing that the Rebbe had seemingly given up on the matter of Moshiach, or that he might stop his activities and leadership of the chassidim. In light of this, there were attempts to approach the Rebbe again and again to ask him to act on the matter.

At the farbrengen on the following Shabbat, Parshat Shemini, Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh stood up between the talks and called out that since "a tzaddik decrees and the Holy One, blessed be He, fulfills," they request that the Rebbe decree that the geulah come immediately. The Rebbe began the next talk by emphasizing that there is no place to impose the work of bringing Moshiach on him, but rather this is the personal work of each individual:<blockquote>"Instead of taking advantage of this opportunity... for everyone to decide for themselves what they must do, they are using it to search for new work for me...

I have enough work, and there is no need to impose more work on me; what I need to do, I know myself... and regarding bringing the geulah - I know myself what I need to do, and I am doing in this as much as I can, and after everything that has been done until now, it has not helped to bring Moshiach in actuality (and this is not the place to discuss the reason for this).

And therefore - there is no place to use the time of the farbrengen to look for new roles for me and to impose more work on me... I forgo the favor, and it would be better if everyone would decide what they need to do.

And as I said and emphasized that the mission is upon you to do everything in your power - that each person needs to begin to act themselves to bring the geulah!"</blockquote>Also during the dollar distribution on the following Sunday, 30 Nissan, the Rebbe spoke in this spirit with some of those passing by - that they should focus on their personal work and not place the responsibility on the Rebbe.

The Rebbe answered in this style to letters sent to him containing requests and demands that the Rebbe reveal himself: To a letter from Rabbi Gershon Mendel Garelik and Chabad chassidim from Milan, Italy, who wrote that they "demand with all strength and chutzpah that the Rebbe reveal himself," the Rebbe replied: "This is not at all what was discussed, but rather a response based on intellect to what I spoke clearly, and in all the above-mentioned there is not even a single word of response. Since others also 'answer' in this way, it is clear that they do not have even a single word of response. And why should I trouble them, Heaven forbid, and let them serve Hashem with joy and good heart, and Hashem will grant them success. I will mention at the tziyun." Similarly, to a letter and signatures in this style sent by Rabbi Shneur Zalman Blumenfeld from Peru, the Rebbe responded to the words "all deadlines have passed": "All this is my claims and repeating the claims is not a response at all. I will mention at the tziyun."

Rabbi Tuvia Peles and Rabbi Zushe Rivkin sent the Rebbe a plane ticket to Eretz Yisrael several days after the talk was given. In response, the Rebbe instructed them to return the plane tickets and wrote that: "This is not at all what was discussed, as is even more obvious."
