Investment Strategy: Part 3 of 5-part series titled Building His Empire - Business Fundamentals as a Framework for Growth.

The 3rd very far-reaching tier in the picture of one's service to G-d, as compared to working for money. We start with a quote by Shlomo HaMelech (King Solomon) in Mishlei: 'If you will search after it like you do your silver or buried treasures, then you will grasp what Awe of G-d means, and you will reach Knowledge of G-d.' This is the ultimate spiritual goal. And how do we get there? By pursuing it in the same way as we would pursue our wealth.

Rebbi Tarfon says, 'The day is short and the workload is extensive; the workers are lazy, the reward is huge, and The Boss is pressing.' The Torah is comparing our service to G-d to our working for a boss. In that context we look into the Incentive Program that has been set up, specifically for us, by Hashem.
