[[The Rebbe Rashab]] said: "One must learn to receive from elder Chassidim. Once, two great Chassidim stayed in [[Lubavitch]], and for nine months I was occupied with matters discussed then."

In Sefer HaMaamarim it is recorded that throughout the generations, elder Chassidim would warn their students to remember how each time of year was observed by Chassidim in earlier times - how Chassidim of old experienced Elul, the days of Selichos, preparation for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the time of our rejoicing, weekdays, [[Shabbos]] and holidays.

Elder Chassidim would say: "Who is a Chassid? One who has mastery over himself." The Rebbe Rashab said: "A Chassid creates an environment around himself.

This fact alone - that he does not create an environment - should break him, and he should ask himself: What am I doing in the world?"
