People are often very confused as to the best way to serve God. Sometimes it seems necessary to act in one manner, but later this appears completely wrong and another method seems best (see “His Wisdom” #255). This can cause a person to become very confused and disturbed.
The Rebbe said, “Why is it necessary to confuse yourself? Vie men tut, tut men. Abie me-tut nit kein schlecht, chas ve-sholom –Whatever you do, you do. As long as you do not do any evil, Heaven forbid” (cf. Tzaddik #426).
לְעִנְיַן הַבִּלְבּוּלִים שֶׁמְּבַלְבְּלִים אֶת הָאָדָם בַּעֲבוֹדָתוֹ, שֶׁלִּפְעָמִים נִדְמֶה שֶׁכָּךְ הוּא צָרִיךְ לַעֲשׂוֹת וּלְהִתְנַהֵג, וְאַחַר כָּךְ נִדְמֶה לוֹ שֶׁלֹּא כֵן הָיָה צָרִיךְ לְהִתְנַהֵג רַק בְּדֶרֶךְ אַחֵר וְכוּ', וְלִפְעָמִים יֵשׁ לְהָאָדָם בִּלְבּוּלִים גְּדוֹלִים מִזֶּה.

עָנָה וְאָמַר: מַה צְּרִיכִין לְהִתְבַּלְבֵּל, אֵיךְ שֶׁעוֹשִׂין – עוֹשִׂין וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא לַעֲשׂוֹת רַע ח"ו. (וִויא מֶען טִיט. טִיט מֶען. אַבִּיא מֶעטִיט נִיט קַיין שְׁלֶעכְץ ח"ו).
