קִצּוּר בִּאוּר אוֹפֶן הג
An explanation [by the Rebbe Rashab] of the third approach, abridged:
ו, וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמַר רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן
As the Alter Rebbe explained,
אֲשֶׁר זֶהוּ כְּלִי לִוְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת הוי' אֱלֹקֶיךָ
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 הֵימֶנּוּ
It also underlies the principle that “anyone with whom his fellowmen are pleased, G‑d is pleased with.”
עֲבוֹדַת הַתְּשׁוּבָה בְּסִבַּת לֵב טוֹב
To “love your neighbor as yourself” is the path of teshuvah that comes from a good heart.
