Crowning Hashem With The Power of Achdus:

The reason why increasing achdus is the best way to prepare for Rosh Hashanah is because the main avodah of the day is to crown Hashem as our king, and this can only be done through the power of unity. The Karliner Rebbe (quoted in Bais Aharon) discerns this from the pasuk (Zechariah 14:9): "On that day, Hashem will be one and His name will be one." Everything depends on oneness. If we are one, we can crown him as the One.

The Bais Avrohom of Slonim zy"a sees this idea from the pasuk (Devarim 14:15) that states: "From amongst your brothers, you shall appoint a king over you." This means that when Yidden act like brothers who all love each other, we will merit appointing Hashem as our king.

We see that when we are united, Hashem will emerge as our king, and He will mercifully annul all decrees against us.
