Wrapping up the מאמר, we now have the two perspectives of learning תורה - serving Hashem with intellect and delight, and doing מצות - serving Hashem with submission and selflessness.

The רבי ties it in with the well-known מחלוקת in the גמרא about which is greater: תלמוד or מעשה? Although the גמרא answers that תלמוד is greater, when משיח comes, מעשה will be greater.

As the רבי explains, this expresses the core quality of serving Hashem with the ultimate selflessness of doing things purely for Hashem, without any ulterior motive, no matter how spiritual.

What does this look like? What is the (possible) connection of this מאמר to ה' טבת? We finish the מאמר and segue into a פארברענגען!
