A PERFECT SERVICE
Every Jew must serve G-d both as a son and as a servant.
(Tanya, ch. 41)
During the era of Moshiach, G-dliness will permeate our entire being with understanding and enjoyment, yet we will serve G-d with selflessness and dedication.
This means that even those who primarily serve G-d in action, like a servant, must study Torah with understanding and enjoyment. Likewise, even those mainly involved in study must learn Torah not only because they enjoy it but out of a sense of obligation and commitment to G-d. Ultimately, everyone must combine both approaches in his or her daily life. By doing so, we prepare for the perfect service of Moshiach.
