A portion of the Rebbe’s advice to a Chassid on a matter of Avodas Hashem:
ומה היצה”ר [= היצר הרע] (הזקן וכסיל) מתאמץ למלאות “תפקידו” אף שמוכרח לעשות זה ע”י [= על ידי] דברי שטות והבל שאין בהם ממש כלל –
עאכו”כ [= על אחת כמה וכמה] איך שצ”ל [= שצריך להיות] השתדלות כאו”א מבנ”י [= כל אחד ואחד מבני ישראל] למלאות תפקידם ע”י תורת אמת ומצותי’ – הניתנים מהוי’ אלקיכם אמת.
הנהגה עפשו”ע [= על פי שולחן ערוך] כולל הפצת היהדות.
אזכיר עה”צ [= על הציון]
Translation:
…If the Yetzer Hara (who is old and foolish) toils to fulfill his “task,” despite being forced to do so by means of things that are utter foolishness and vanity which have no substance at all — how much more so must every Jew take a lesson in how he ought to make efforts to fulfill his task through the Torah of truth and its mitzvos — given by “Hashem your G-d Who is true.”
Conduct yourself in accordance with the Shulchan Aruch, which entails also involvement in outreach work to disseminate Yiddishkeit.
I will mention you at the Tziyun.
