In the following chapters, the Alter Rebbe will explain an alternative method of attaining the love and awe of G-d, a method that may be used even by one with the aforementioned shortcomings. It consists of arousing the natural love of G-d that lies hidden in the heart of every Jew, a love that is his birthright, his inheritance from our Patriarchs. No meditation is needed to arouse it; all that is required of him is to recall and to make himself aware of this love—and he will be motivated by this recollection to observe the mitzvot. Since no meditation is required to create them, such love and awe of G-d are indeed “very near.” They are accessible to all.
