Now, we will return to explain the verse quoted at the beginning of the Mamaar:
This is the deeper meaning of what it says: “The Shekel is twenty Geira,” since each one of the two types of love mentioned previously is comprised of ten aspects, three of intellect, and seven of emotion, as is known, so that even the aspect of “the Great Love of Hashem” that comes from Above is also comprised of ten aspects, intellect, and emotion. Since, between the love of Hashem from Above and below, there are a total of twenty aspects, this is what is represented by saying that: “the Shekel (love of Hashem) is twenty Geira.”
Since the love of Hashem represented by the Shekel is comprised of two halves, (the love from our effort here below, and the love from Above), and each love has ten aspects, together, there are twenty aspects to the love of Hashem, represented by the fact the Shekel was twenty Geira.
The 10 aspects of each love are the 3 intellectual aspects of the love and the 7 emotional aspects of the love. This means that for the love to permeate the person's entire being, it must start in his intellect, in his understanding and awareness, until it comes into his emotions and actions.
Only when it has completely permeated his being, can he say that he truly loves Hashem "with all his heart, with all soul, and with all his might." This is true not only of the love that is the result of the person's efforts, but even with regard to the love that is a gift from above. In order for it to be "his" love, then it must permeate the entire range of his intellect and emotions - how he thinks, what he cares about, how he acts, etc. Then, I can be said that this love is "his" love of Hashem.
