Great elders of the Alter Rebbe's chassidim used to say that yechidus (private audience with the Rebbe) means: "clear," "designated," "united." The sources of these three interpretations are in Shekalim 6:2, Yevamot 62a, and Bereishit Raba 20.
This means that the idea of yechidus is:
To clarify one's own status;
To designate a mode of avoda for him in "turn(ing) away from evil" and in the acquisition of fine character traits;
And that he should bind himself1 in total oneness, and utterly dedicate himself1 with all his desires.
Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe.
