Bringing First Fruits reveals the faith of all Jews that G-d gives the blessing of fruits of the land; one learns to serve G-d in all aspects of life including eating. The Admonitions are meant as blessings in disguise, that everything is good.
Rabbi Akiva כל דעביד רחמנא לטב עביד still felt pain
Nachum Ish Gam-Zu גם זו לטובה the experience itself was good
The uniqueness of this command lies in that we are told to "walk in His Paths". It is possible to perform a mitzvah and to remain stationary - finding oneself in the same state as before; however, performing this mitzvah propels the individual into motion, leaving the previous station and going to a higher spiritual rank. The soul within a body, performing mitzvos with physical objects, is considered to be in motion, enabling a Jew to rise each new level loftier than the previous one.
Ahavas Yisrael is the centerpiece of both luminaries of Chai Elul
The bringing of the First Fruits began only after the complete good in inheriting the land (and not just entering the Land); complete good could only happen after everyone received their portion.
ה' אורי וישעי
G-d’s action allows a Jew to not engage in bad & to do Teshuvah.
האמרת as separate
G-d separates the Jewish people on a daily basis (understood the context of the verse without conclusive proof in scripture).
Common factor between the First Fruits, Lavan and the Egyptian exile
is the acknowledgement that through Hashem’s Chesed the Jews are now settled & enjoy full benefits. A tree’s fruit is analogous to the soul clothed in the body: the Bikurim offering is the elevation of the lower to the higher; and the proclamation of the Bikurim alludes to the drawing down from Above.
Kabolas Ol ensures the proper understanding and recognition of this physical world
After 40 years the Jews were accustomed to the miracles, and unable to see the loving kindness of G-d; thus, Moshe needed to remind them.
Service of Rosh Hashana
The service of Rosh Hashana is Kabolas Ol from the essence of the neshama. Rashi connects this section beginning with היום הזה to the prior section of Bikurim and not to Maaser. Bikurim is a matter of מידה כנגד מידה between G-d and the Jews; one brings the First Fruits this year and G-d responds to bless to bring the next year.
Ultimate purpose of the admonitions
Ultimate purpose of the admonitions is to lead the Jews to Teshuvah and a higher level than before, as reflected in the final verse.
Chassidus as the soul of Torah
Chassidus as the soul of Torah affects the entire person to become one with the Torah.
The word Savo indicates a complete coming into the land
(which occurs after full settlement, not just the entrance into the land).
Every Jew is essentially above creation
Ahavas Yisrael applies to all Jews. Jews are like a hidden treasure that just by their very existence give pleasure to the King.
