In ratzu you have gilui elokus only in devekus only in your whole desire, you are davuk to this desire. You cannot be davuk through grasping (tphisa) Him – you have a desire but it cannot really be realized. Anything described as a ratzu cannot be a full devekus.
The merkavah – charriot is a step above – it follows the desire of the rider, so it is closer to shuv, translating the elokus in the world – doing what He wants you to do. Even though the avot didn't have mitzvot they dedicated them selves to spreading elokus in the world – this is an aspect of shuv.
When the desire for elokus has permeated his whole being – ratzu – and now he realizes that he can do His will, this is a relief to him. The desire allows him to sense elokus everywhere. And the relief is that he can be in the world with elokus. The world itself now, represents G-dliness.
