Hayom Yom 6 Tishrei - Teshuva by loving your fellow

קִצּוּר בִּאוּר אוֹפֶן הגAn explanation [by the Rebbe Rashab] of the third approach, abridged: ו, וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ“Love your neighbor as yourself.”כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמַר רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן, אֲשֶׁר זֶהוּ כְּלִי לִוְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת הוי' אֱלֹקֶיךָAs the Alter Rebbe explained, fulfilling this mitzvah is a medium for [attaining the level at which one can] “love G‑d your L‑rd.”וּבִאוּר בַּמַּאֲמָר כָּל שֶׁרוּחַ הַבְּרִיוֹת נוֹחָה הֵימֶנּוּ רוּחַ הַמָּקוֹם נוֹחָה הֵימֶנּוּIt also underlies the principle that “anyone with whom his fellowmen are pleased, G‑d is pleased with.”עֲבוֹדַת הַתְּשׁוּבָה בְּסִבַּת לֵב טוֹבTo “love your neighbor as yourself” is the path of teshuvah that comes from a good heart.Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in English
