Samach Vav: uMikneh Rav, Part 1: Beginning of the Maamer ומקנה רב
In explaining the distinction between the Avodah of Yaakov and that of Yisroel, the Rebbe indicates that the Avodah of Yisroel is the service of a Ben (son), whereas that of Yaakov is the service of an Eved (servant). Because the relation between a son and father is essential, rather than generated by any particular cause, the service of Ben is characterized by an absolute, all-consuming love for the father (Ahavah Rabbah).
