Lessons in the Service of Hashem from the Maamar

Lessons in the service of Hashem from the Maamar

1. The foundation of all service and the goal of all service of Hashem is the sincere wholehearted devotion to Hashem. We do this by simply accepting Hashem as our King, to fulfill all of Hashem’s requests and instructions unquestioningly.
2. Within that framework, we need to pursue spiritual growth. This means to increase in our understanding of Hashem’s greatness and to develop a feeling for Hashem during prayer.
3. However, we need to work on “merging” these two approaches. Our understanding and feelings for Hashem need to be permeated with the selfless devotion for Hashem. Then we will be able to truly connect to Hashem in a pure and egoless manner in every aspect of our lives.
