The chassid Reb Yitzchok Goldin was with the Rebbe Rayatz during the years 5680-5681/1920-1921. Years later, when Reb Yitzchok arrived in the United States, the present Rebbe instructed that he should be allowed into yechidus immediately, without fixing a time beforehand. (The Rebbe explained that ???Yitzchok Goldin iz an anderer zach,??? Yitzchok Goldin is a different case.)

Reb Yitzchok spent half an hour with the Rebbe, and when he went out of the Rebbe??'s room he stood by the wall and cried. Someone asked, ???Reb Itche, why are you crying? You were just by the Rebbe. You should be very happy! Go to shul now and farbreng with the crowd!???

Reb Yitzchok replied, ???I was with the Rebbe just now, and the Rebbe told me that among chassidim it is a known thing that we do not have mercy on a Rebbe. [The meaning of this statement is that whereas we might not reveal our troubles to a close family member in order to spare him from suffering, we should tell them to the Rebbe.] And the Rebbe continued, ???But we can now seen it differently. If we had had mercy upon my father-in-law, the Rebbe would still be with us now ?????????
