Because the G-dly light in the world is in a constant state of ratzu and shuv, so too in avodah.
Due to this, in the ratzu is an aspect of shuv and vice versa. There are two ways that this is present – each contains the other, or a certain qualifier in each precipitates the other.
In avodah these 2 factors present themselves as love and fear. The fear maintains a distance between created and Creator. There is a love that comes from the closeness that elokus provides. He shows him a face of closeness and affection. The concern shown is more valuable to the recipient than receipt of the influence itself in terms of creating the love. The only way to be mashpiah sechel is through care, and this care elicits affection.
This love is a two way street – the mashpia shows concern and care, this elicits a response from the recipient and he wants the hashpah – a desire has been awakened.
In love, there is an element that is transmitted between them – there is a cause that elicits it – this is not, “a love that depends on a thing”, it is a real love, but it is revealed through the hashpah.
