  Question for Rabbi YY

  Why didn't the Rebbeim just write their maamorim and sichos instead of relying on chozrim and then proof reading?

    Probably it was a time issue. They did not have the time. Even this maamar, like most, was not edited by the Rebbe. He said it and they wrote it up, but the Rebbe did not review it before publishing. Some he did, but only vew few of them.

      Could it also be that the Rebbeim were in a certain elevated state of  consciousness, especially on Shabbos or  yom tov, and the words and concepts just flowed in such a  way that they would not have if the Rebbeim just wrote them, perforce not on Shabbos or yom tov? Writing usually slows down the flow as well.

        I've seen such flows of  consciousness even in shiurim here especially when followed by "does that make sense?"

  A mashal:  A new baal tschuva began learning in a baal tschuva yeshiva and he was a very big baal gaiva, he had a tremendous amount of ego to the point of being extremely egotistical.  Then they had a 2 week class in anivus ie modesty and he became a big baal anav.  This is a mashal/joke to bring out the depths of ego and gaiva and how it actually takes alot of time and effort to achieve true bitul and anivus.  And that each of us should be blessed to continue growing in that direction. 

  Shlomo Carlebach called it "holy chutzpah" - to have a certain 'pride' to be a creation of Hashem and as Rebbe is explaining, to realize that we do matter and we have special acts (Torah and Mitzvos) to do that can actually affect reality in very powerful and far reaching ways. 

  I feel a sense of pride when I am among Jews.  I see the maturity, caring, striving for growth, responsibility, commitment, seriousness and joy, depth of thoughts, accomplishments, nice extended and connected families, dedicated rebbes and mashpias, etc etc etc and I am not shy to say that I am proud to be part of such a people.

  The Baal Shem says (Metzorah) ולפעמים צריך להראות גבהות בפני בני אדם משום כבוד הבורא, וכמו שאמרו רבותינו ז"ל (סוטה ד"ד ע"א) תלמיד חכם צריך שיהיה בו אחד משמיני שבשמינית, רק שצריך ליזהר מאוד שיחשוב באותה שעה בשפלות עצמו, ויאמר בלבו אני באמת שפל מאוד, ומה שאני עושה גבהות הוא לכבוד הבורא יתברך, שלעצמי אין אני צריך שום גבהות שאני תולעת ולא איש ולמה לי כבוד וגבהות אפילו במחשבה קטנה:
  (צוואת הריב"ש די"א ע"ב, הנהגות ישרות דט"ו ע"א)

  Very difficult balance to make at the same time to think one is lowly

  The Rambam says in HIlchos deos ויש דעות שאסור לו לאדם לנהוג בהן בבינונית אלא יתרחק מן הקצה האחד עד הקצה האחר. והוא גובה לב. שאין דרך הטובה שיהיה אדם עניו בלבד אלא שיהיה שפל רוח ותהיה רוחו נמוכה למאד. ולפיכך נאמר במשה רבינו ענו מאד ולא נאמר ענו בלבד. ולפיכך צוו חכמים מאד מאד הוי שפל רוח. ועוד אמרו שכל המגביה לבו כפר בעיקר שנאמר ורם לבבך ושכחת את ה' אלהיך. ועוד אמרו בשמתא מאן דאית ביה גסות הרוח ואפילו מקצתה

  
  There is an argument in the gemara in sotah daf 5 and we paskan like rav nachman that says א"ר נחמן בר יצחק לא מינה ולא מקצתה מי זוטר דכתיב ביה תועבת ה' כל גבה לב

  How does this fit with the halacha?
