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.
