This is like the idea of (Tehillim 15:4): “one who is embarrassed and despised in his own eyes.”
Meaning, that through the “awakening from below,” that he considers himself despised through the attribute of “the left hand that pushes away,” through this there is drawn down an “awakening from Above,” that “Hashem will cause me to hear,” in a manner of hearing from afar, which produces fear, in order to bring into the person a higher level of fear of Hashem that is granted as a gift from Above.
In other words, the service of Hashem in a manner of ‘ש ִּמְעו ן-Shimon,’ who represents ‘ש ְמִּ יעָּ ה-hearing,’ (connected to the second paragraph of Shema), is for the person to awaken a feeling of awe and fear of Hashem. When a person contemplates on Hashem’s greatness and contrasts that with his own relative lowliness, he will feel embarrassed of Hashem’s greatness that he is in the presence of. Through a person’s effort to awaken the fear of Hashem, Hashem will grant the person a truer and higher level of fear of Him as a gift from Above. (This is similar to what was explained above regarding awakening the love of Hashem: When a person works hard to awaken a fiery love for Hashem, then Hashem will help the person through a revelation from Above.)
