Hayom Yom 20 Menachem Av - The love and fear of G‑d must be felt physically
כְּשֵׁם שֶׁמִּצְוַת תְּפִלִּין, עַל דֶּרֶךְ מָשָׁל
Just like by the mitzvah of tefillin, to use an example,
יֵשׁ לָהּ מָקוֹם קָבוּעַ בְּרֹאשׁ וּבִזְרוֹעַ
relates to a specific place on the head, and on the arm,
וּמַרְגִּישׁ כּוֹבֶד הַתְּפִלָּה שֶׁל רֹאשׁ
where one feels its weight on the head,
וְהַהִדּוּק דִּתְפִלָּה שֶׁל יָד
and where one feels the tightness [of the straps] on the arm.
כֵּן הוּא בְּמִצְוַת אַהֲבָה וְיִרְאָה
Similarly, the mitzvos of loving and fearing G‑d [must be felt physically].
וּכְמוֹ שֶׁכָּתַב הָרַמְבַּ"ם (יְסוֹדֵי הַתּוֹרָה פֶּרֶק בּ' הַלָכָה א')
Thus Rambam writes…
