הַהִתְעַסְקוּת בְּדַרְכֵי הַחֲסִידוּת הוּא
Being involved in the spiritual lifestyle of Chassidus means
אֲשֶׁר גַּם בְּהָלְכוֹ בַּשּׁוּק טָרוּד בַּעֲסָקָיו
that even when walking about in the marketplace, preoccupied with one’s business,
יַחְשׁוֹב מַה הוּא יָכוֹל לַעֲשׂוֹת בְּעַד עִנְיָנֵי הַחֲסִידוּת וְטוֹבַת הַחֲסִידִים
a person thinks about what he can do on behalf of Chassidus and for the good of his fellow chassidim.
וּכְשֶׁהוּא פּוֹגֵשׁ מִי שֶׁהוּא מֵאַנְשֵׁי הַשּׁוּק מִמַּכִּירָיו — בְּעִנְיָנֵי מִסְחָר
When he meets his business acquaintances in the market,
יְדַבֵּר עַל לִבּוֹ
he speaks to them persuasively
כִּי יָבוֹא אֶל שִׁעוּרֵי הַלִּמוּדִים בְּדִּבְרֵי אֱלֹקִים חַיִּים אוֹ לְאֵיזוֹ הִתְוַעֲדוּת
about attending a class in Chassidus or a farbrengen.
וְהַהִתְעַסְקוּת בְּדַרְכֵי הַחֲסִידוּת הוּא חוֹבַת גַּבְרָא
Being involved in the ways of Chassidus is a responsibility of every individual,
מִבְּלִי הֶבְדֵל בֵּין גָּדוֹל וְקָטָן בִּידִיעַת דִּבְרֵי אֱלֹקִים חַיִּים
regardless of whether his knowledge of Chassidus is great or scant.
