In one of his letters, the Baal Shem Tov, Founder of the Chassidic Movement, records how on the awesome day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, in the year 5507 (1746), he was in a deep meditative state and his soul ascended to the celestial chamber of Moshiach.
“Master,” the Baal Shem Tov asked, “when will you come?”
Moshiach answered: “When your wellsprings will overflow to the outside.”
The wellsprings are the teachings of the deep inner wisdom known as Chassidus. Not only its water, but the wellsprings themselves, must spread forth.
When the furthest reaches of the material world become permeated with the Wellsprings of Chassidus, then Moshiach will come.

Lubavitcher Chassidim (also known as Chabad Chassidim) have adapted a well-known melody to perpetuate the inquiry of the Baal Shem Tov and the reply of Moshiach. This melody is sung frequently in great ecstasy at Chassidic gatherings.
