Adar Sheini: even higher than pleasure
Concerning
the Future to Come, it says, “I will remove the spirit of
impurity from the earth.” At that time, Divine service will
consist solely of rising ever higher within goodness and holiness
[without having to contend with the nullification of evil]. The
ultimate elevation will be that of a service that is on a level
even higher than taanug (pleasure), as opposed to a
service of kabbalas ol, submitting oneself to G-d’s will.

HaMaamarim Meluket Vol. 2, p. 223)

Adar Sheini: Do as they do
We
see that there are people who transgress His will, even in public.
Indeed, “Kol ha’mona shel Romi” (the clamor of the
throngs of Rome), all the negative things are done publicly and
noisily, not covertly. The way to nullify this shturm of
the “other side” is by doing as they do. That is to say that
the Divine service of those who do His will should also be
“heard,” specifically in the place of “the clamor of the
throngs of Rome.” This approach will lead to, “If this is so
concerning those who transgress His will, how much more is this so
concerning those who fulfill His will.” Then, Jews will “sit
securely and quietly” on their land, through “the blowing of
the great shofar,” through the “sound of the
herald, the herald who announces,” heralding the Redemption,
speedily now!

Sichos, Vol. 16, Tetzaveh 2)

Adar Sheini: An end of birurim, a beginning of yechudim
In
the Days of Moshiach, after the completion of the Divine
service of birurim (sifting), when evil will have been
separated from good, “They will not be occupied with Torah and mitzvos
for the sake of sifting out the birurim; rather, they will
achieve loftier yechudim...through the inner dimension of
the Torah, and fulfill mitzvos with lofty kavanos...the
inner dimension of the mitzvos and their hidden meaning.”
(However,
at that time as well, “they will have to know the laws of that
which is prohibited and permissible, impure and pure.” The
revealed part of Torah will be open and known to everyone in
advance, and no one will forget it. There will be no need to be involved
in [the laws].*)
*...In
fact, it is quite possible that all the revealed Torah will be
known through the inner dimension of the Torah, [the same
way] Avrohom Avinu [knew the laws]. Thus, there will be no need to
delve into [the laws] at all.

Adar Sheini: Hastening the Redemption by spreading the wellsprings
outward
Regarding
the question as to when Moshiach Tzidkeinu is coming...This
question is an old one. The holy Baal Shem Tov informed us about
the experience of his soul ascending On High on Rosh HaShana, and
asking Moshiach Tzidkeinu himself, “When are you coming,
Master?” Moshiach answered, “This is how you will know: when
your teachings will be widespread and revealed in the world, and
your wellsprings will spread outward.”
Therefore,
whoever wants to hasten the Redemption...should do his utmost,
with all his energy and might, and beyond, to disseminate the Baal
Shem Tov’s wellsprings. This means the teachings of Chassidus
and its ways and customs, in his immediate surroundings as well as
in his wider environment. As Moshiach said, “chutza.”
Every single action [to this end] hastens the Redemption.

Kodesh 18, letter #3343)

Adar Sheini: So That The Other Fellow Shouts “Moshiach Now!”
…This
behavior must prevail even when going to speak with others: first
and foremost one should shout, “Moshiach now!”...and it should
be shouted in such a way that the other fellow himself begins to
shout, “Moshiach now!”
(Sicha

Adar Sheini: Moshiach should have come many months and years ago
After
all the effort in these matters, through the work of the shluchim
around the world, Moshiach should have come many months and
years ago, yet he still has not come!
Therefore,
together with the fervent cry of the Jewish people, “ad masai?!”
— “Do not be silent, do not be still, and do not be quiet,
Hashem” — we must also increase all our efforts in
disseminating the wellsprings outward. By doing so, we will hasten
the coming of Moshiach, that he should come and be revealed as
Melech HaMoshiach, whose quality is ‘the might of kingship’
– “The king speaks and the mountain is uprooted.”

Adar Sheini: How to make it easier to reveal the spark of Moshiach
A
Jew’s mission, as we said, is to reveal the spark of Moshiach
within him, and through this, to hasten and bring about the coming
of Moshiach Tzidkeinu. But in order to make this Divine service easier,
there must be a connection with the leader of the generation, the Moshiach
HaKlali of the generation.
