Samach Vav: uMikneh Rav, Part 4: The Avodah of Two Types of Eved
Unlike the Ben, whose devotion and service are natural expressions of the Nefesh Elokis, the Avodah of the Eved is a product of the Guf and therefore requires effort. There are 2 categories of Eved, one whose service is pure Kabbolas Ol motivated by Yirah. The other is motivated by Ahavah—as a result of his recognition of the transcendent splendor of the Master and his overwhelming desire to be attached to Him.
