Pathways to the Heart

Pathways to the Heart

From the Words of HaRav Yoram Abargel zt”l

When a person has fear of Heaven and love of Hashem, that gives power to the mitzvahs to rise upward.

For in the outward act itself there is no difference between a person who has fear of Heaven and a person who does not: both put on the same tefillin, both pray in the same shul.

The only difference is that this one has in his thoughts the service of Hashem, while the other thinks of his own honor – and it is the former whose mitzvot rise upward.
