The gain of Chassidus


One of the great Chassidim of the Alter Rebbe (R’ Zalman Zezmir?) once remarked: ‘What did I gain through becoming a chossid? I gained the following: Prior to becoming a chossid I would think 10 machshovos zoros a day, and since I began to study chassidus, I only think 9 machshovos zoros a day. But for this change it was worthwhile to become a chossid, because that one time of having iskafya is extremely precious to Hashem.
