What won’t a man do for a title?
People go to universities literally for decades to have three letters, Phd, after their name.
What is a title?
A title at best is a description of an accomplishment?
This person has written a dissertation about the price of tea in china hence he has been awarded the title, doctor.
Another person has studied medicine, hence he has been awarded the title doctor.
Why do we seek titles, respect them, and feel as our identity is somehow enhanced by them?
The answer to this is quite simple because we are unaware of our true title.
The Baal Shem Tov came to teach the world about the intrinsic holiness of each and every Jew regardless of titles.
Understanding the Kabbalistic dimension he saw God as the essence of every Jewish soul hence his love reverence and honor of them like our Rebbe, was limitless.
