Imagine somebody were to tell you 'Did you see the newspapers in Alaska? Someone yelled at his brother'. I say 'Listen, this is crazy. This is not my concern.' That is very sweet but obviously you are not connected. 
Let me share this story with you.    

The Holy Rizhiner had six sons, and one of his sons was the Heilige Reb Beren'yu, in the city Liyevu. The Rizhiner said 'All my sons are holy, but if one of them could be the Mashiach, it's Reb Beren'yu.' You can imagine his level. He really wanted to do something for the world and it just didn't go, so he stopped being Rebbe. He disappeared and he came back for one Shabbos. He moved up to the mountains and sadly enough, he passed away.    

This story was told by a yidelleh who was by Reb Beren'yu for Shavuos. On Shavuos, we celebrate the day we stood at Mount Sinai, the highest moment in the history of the world, G-d speaks to man. So in Rizhin, all the Rizhiner Chasidim  daven in the synagogue; but next to the synagogue there was a little room and the Rebbe would daven there. So everybody knows that Shavuos night, the night of the holiday where we wait for the dawn when G-d speaks to us, everybody is up all night learning. What else could you do that night?

Reb Beren'yu gathered a lot of young kids who were really looking for something high and deep. This yidelleh that told this story said 'I heard a lot about Reb Beren'yu, I wanted to be there for Shavuos'. Hundreds maybe thousands of people were there. After you finished eating, you start learning. Suddenly the door opened and the Heilige Reb Beren'yu opens the door. It was so holy and so high. Everyone stood around him in half a circle. I was expecting him to tell us great secrets of the Torah. He starts talking about the world, anything that happens in the world. I was taken back. Such a holy night, and he is talking about everything mundane and unimportant. This goes on the whole night, and the whole time I am thinking 'For this I had to come Shavuos, to hear all these words?'

Now listen to this. The learning for Shavuos night is called Tikkun, the night of the fixing. So he says 'He was talking about all these mundane things all night long. Suddenly he looked up, it was already dawn and he said 'It's time for fixing', and he closed the door. Suddenly I realized that every word he uttered, he was telling me my life story. Suddenly I realized that every word he had spoken was meant for me. I couldn't bear it any longer. I ran out from the synagogue. I ran to the forest and just broke down. I fell to the ground and I was crying my heart out. The Rebbe came back at about 10 o'clock to daven. I heard that he sent out people to collect everyone, because everyone had run somewhere else to cry, to fix themselves.

I just want to bless you and bless me back, that everything in the world should remind us of fixing. Everything in the world should fix us and we should fix it back.    

You see what it is? If someone is, G-d forbid, physically sick, my fixing medicine might be somewhere in Alaska or in China. When, G-d forbid, my soul is sick, whatever I need for fixing is right here; it's always right here with me. Wherever my soul is, wherever I am, that is where the fixing is.    

I want to share something very deep with you.

Do you know what the fixing of the soul is? Imagine I have to go to New York, so if I'm in San Francisco I have to go east. If I want to go to Los Angeles I am going south. If I want to go to Hawaii, I am going west. Now imagine I am sitting on a train going east and I think I am going to Hawaii. So suddenly while I am sitting on the train, talking to people, telling them I am so glad I am going to Hawaii, people start to say 'You are crazy. You are going east - you better go west'. But you know what I have to do? First I have to go back to San Francisco where I began, I have to change the train, and then I am on my way to Hawaii. Imagine on a spiritual level if I go wrong. I go the different direction, do I have to first go back to where I began, and take a different train only from there? No. The moment I realize I am in the wrong direction, I am already there. I am already there; I don't even have to turn around. It's always right there, right there. But it takes so much strength.

You know what it is, friends? We feel much better when we feel we could be more guilty. We always feel better if we are able to feel like shleppers, like kvetchers. You walk around thinking, 'Oy vey, I'm so sick, I am so far gone. Everything is so terrible, what a world.' If someone were to tell you, it doesn't take anytime to fix it... We would like someone to tell us how sick we are instead. You have to go barefoot from here to India and from there to China. And then for ten years you have to sit on a mountain and do nothing, and then for twenty years you have to scratch out your hair. Then your soul will be fixed and it will feel so good. If someone tells you, you don't have to do anything, then we just don't know what to do with ourselves. The holiness of Shavuos is, when you hear G-d's word it is so good, everything is good. 

You see, it's strange. For somebody to tell you it's (life is) bad, you don't need G-d to tell you it's bad. But to hear the message that it's good, it really has to come from Heaven, because somehow, we are not conditioned to hear good things. Shavuos is the great morning when we mamesh hear from G-d 'I am G-d who took you out from Egypt, I'm still around'. 

We should have a good Yomtov, we should have good days and good nights, and a lot of strength to know it's so easy to fix ourselves. It takes so little to fix the world, it takes so little to give each other strength. Reb Nachman says 'I have seen a lot of young people who could have made it; all they needed is one person to tell them 'You can do it'. So you never know, maybe you can be this one person to so many people.
