Samach Vav: Eileh HaDevarim, Part 1: Beginning of the Maamer: אלה הדברים - The Eved who’s motivated by love.
Thus far, we have examined in detail, the Eved who knows and understands nothing of his Creator. His perfect service is the result of Kabolas Ol, engendered by fear of G-d. We now encounter the second category of Eved, who commits himself to the service of G-d totally, and with Mesiras Nefesh (like the first Eved), but who is motivated by an all-consuming love of G-d, rooted in his intellectual grasp of Ein Sof.
