וְיִּחו ד אֲמִּית ִּ י ב ִּבְחִּינַת יִּחו דָ א־עִּילָאָה, ב ִּיט ו ל ב ִּמְצִּיאו ת מַמ ָש , known and felt, so that we should truly experience the fact that we have no existence whatsoever, other than that we are part of Hashem’s True Unity.
וְנַעֲש ֶ ה ַכָ שְמַה יֵׁדְי לַע ֹוז הָניִּחְ ב ךָ שְמִּנְות הַמ ִּצְוֹ ת לִּבְחִּינַת "אֶרֶ ץ" – הִּי א ב ְחִּינַ ת אֱמו נָ ה. Through fulfilling the mitzvos, this awareness is created and drawn down into our faith, which is referred to as “אֶרֶַׁץַׁ-earth,” as explained above regarding the comparison between “earth” and faith.
וֶאֱמו נָ ה זוֹ הִּי א ב ְחִּינַת "אֶרֶ ץ זָבַ ת חָלָ ב ו דְ בָש :" This faith that is permeated with an awareness of Hashem, is then called “‘אֶרֶַׁץַׁ-the Land/faith’ that flows with milk and honey.”
"חָלָ ב" הו א ב ְחִּינַת הַגְד ָלַ ת הַמ ִּד וֹ ת, ש ֶת ִּגְד ַ ל הָאַהֲבָ ה הַמְסו ת ֶרֶ ת ֵׁ לַ בב וְתֵׁצֵׁ א מֵׁהַהֶעְלֵׁ ם אֶ ל ו ליִּ גַהי. “Milk” represents the ability to develop one’s emotions, just as milk helps a baby grown and develop. This means that the love for Hashem that is hidden in our hearts should be developed and revealed from its potential feeling of love to an actual feeling of love.
(כ ִּ י הַגְד ָלַ ת הַמ ִּד וֹ ת הו א עַל יְדֵׁי ב ְחִּינַת אֱמו נָ ה מִּב ְחִּינַת ' סוֹבֵׁב כ ָל עָלְמִּין ' ד ַיְיקָ א, מַה ש ֶאֵׁין כ ֵׁן מִּב ְחִּינַת ' ןיִּמְלָע לָ כ אֵׁ לַמְמ ' לֹ א ת ִּתְגַדֵׁ ל אַהֲבָתוֹ וְיִּרְ אָתוֹ לַ ה' מִּכ ַאֲש ֶ ר תו כַ ל נַפְש וֹ ש ְאֵׁ ת 39).
(The Tzemach Tzedek notes: True development of our Divine emotions is only derived from our belief in Hashem, as He is “Soveiv Kol Almin,” whereas, from the level of how Hashem is “Memalei Kol Almin-permeates all worlds,” an unlimited love and fear for Hashem will not be produced).
Even though we must come to have an awareness of how Hashem permeates all worlds, and this also produces love and fear for Hashem, it is not sufficient. Since our awareness of Hashem on that level is limited to how He creates and interacts with the world, our corresponding love and fear of Him are also limited. In order to develop our hidden love of Hashem, which is truly unlimited (since our souls derive from Hashem's Infinite Essence), we need to have an awareness of Hashem on the level of how He encompasses all worlds beyond all limitation.
"ו דְ בָש " הו א ב ְחִּינַ ת מְתִּ יקו ת וְתַעֲנו ג, כ ְמוֹ ש ֶכ ָתו ב (יְש ַעְיָהו נח, יד) :"אָז ת ִּתְ עַנ ַג עַל ה'" , וְהַיְינו מִּב ְחִּינַת ' סוֹבֵׁב כ ָל עָלְמִּין ' . “Honey” represents sweetness and enjoyment, as it is written, “Then you will have enjoyment from Havayah,” (Yeshaya 58:14) meaning enjoyment from an awareness of how Hashem is “Soveiv Kol Almin.”
ד ְ הַיְינו , כ ַאֲש ֶ ר יִּתְב וֹנֵׁ ן כ ִּ י "אֲנִּי הֲוָיָ"ה לֹא ש ָנִּיתִּי" (מַלְאָכִּי ג, ו) , וְ "אַת ָ ה הו א קוֹדֶ ם ש ֶנ ִּבְרָ א הָעוֹלָ ם כו '" . This means that when one will think about the idea that “I, Havayah, have not changed,” and “You were the same before the world was created, and are the same after the world was created,”
וְרַ ק "הוֹדוֹ עַ ל 'ֹוג ו ," וְעִּ ם כ ָ ל זֶ ה, הִּנ ֵׁ ה " םֶרָ יַו קֶרֶ ן לְעַמ וֹ ," וְ"לִּבְנֵׁי יִּש ְ רָ אֵׁל עַם קְר וֹ בוֹ" מַמ ָש ., and it is only “His Glory” that is creating the heaven and earth, yet, “He raised the glory of His people... the Children of Yisroel, the nation close to Him,” literally.
אִּי לָזֹא ת יָגִּי ל וְיִּש ְ מַ ח לִּב וֹ וְיִּתְעַנ ֵׁ ג עַ ל ה ' מַמ ָש Then, his heart will rejoice and exult, and he will literally delight in Hashem.

כ ְמוֹ "ב וֹרֵׁ א נְפָש וֹ ת רַב וֹ ת, וְחֶסְרוֹנָ ם עַ ל כ ָ ל מַ ה ש ֶב ָרָ אתָ , לְהַחֲיוֹ ת ב ָהֶ ם נֶפֶש כ ָ ל חָ :"י as we find in the “Borei Nefashos” blessing, recited after eating certain foods: “Blessed are You Hashem...who creates numerous souls and ‘חֶסְרוֹנַָּׁם-their needs,’ for all that You have created ‘לְה חֲיוַֹׁתַׁ-to give enjoyment’ through them to the soul of every living thing.”
ש ֶפ ֵׁירו ש "חֶסְרוֹנָ "ם– ד ָבָ ר הֶחָסֵׁ ר לָאָדָ ם יִּקְלם ֹות ו יַח , "לְהַחֲיוֹ ת ב ָהֶ ם נֶפֶש כ ָ ל חָ י" – ֵׁ נַעְתִּהְל אָ לֶא ֹוניֵׁאֶ שג ַח ו קיִּפ ו־נֶפֶש ; The meaning of the phrase “חֶסְרוֹנַָּׁם-their needs” is food that one needs for his life and existence. However, the next phrase, “‘לְה חֲיוַֹׁת-to give enjoyment’ through them to the soul of every living thing” is referring to foods that are only for enjoyment and expansion of the soul.
