Rabbi Mendele Horodoker led a group of Chassidim to settle in the Holy land, after the passing of his Rebbe, the Mezritcher Maggid.
Once a commotion broke out in the street, that Moshiach had arrived.
R. Mendele Horodoker was resting at the time. One of the family members quietly entered R. Mendele’s room, whereupon R. Mendele abruptly got up and asked: "What happened?" The family member replied that there was a
commotion outside that Moshiach has come!
R’ Mendele went over to the window, opened it and sniffed the air outside and said: "I don’t sniff Moshiach!" and he went back to rest.
When the Mashpia, R’ Gronem told this story, he explained, that inside his house, R’ Mendele always smelled the air of Moshiach, that’s why he had to go to the window to sniff the air outside.
