מַעֲנֵה רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן לִיחִידוּת
In response to a question at yechidus, the Alter Rebbe once gave the following response:
חֲסִידוּת איז שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל
“Chassidus is Shema Yisrael.
שְׁמַע אִיז רָאשֵׁי תֵּיבוֹת שְׂאוּ מָרוֹם עֵינֵיכֶם
The word Shema (שמע) is an acronym for the words, ‘Raise your eyes on high’ (שאו מרום עיניכם) —
וְאוֹמֵר מָרוֹם וְלֹא שָׁמַיִם
‘on high,’ not ‘heavenward.’
מָרוֹם אִיז העֶכעֶר אוּן העֶכעֶר
That means higher and higher,
לְהַגִּיעַ לְמַעְלָה מִן הַשֵּׂכֶל
reaching beyond the intellect.
וְזֶה גוּפָא לְהָבִינוֹ בְּשֵׂכֶל
Yet [we should] understand this very [non-intellectual] dimension with our minds as well —
וּכְמוֹ שֶׁאוֹמֵר וּרְאוּ מִי בָּרָא אֵלֶּה
as the verse continues, “and behold Who created these.”
