b) When one reaches “יִשְׁתַּבַּח” Yishtabach, they should intend to bless the Holy One, Blessed be He, as in the prayers “יוֹצֵר אוֹר, יוֹצֵר הַמְּאוֹרוֹת” “Form Light, Who creates the luminaries.”
c) To love Him, that is when one reaches “אַהֲבַת עוֹלָם” “Ahavat Olam (eternal love)”, and “וְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת ה’ אֱלֹהֶיךָ” “And you shall love YHVH your God.” This is the secret of the love of the Holy One, Blessed be He.
d) To unify with Him, that is “שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל ה’ אֱלֹהֵינוּ ה’ אֶחָד” “Hear, O Israel: YHVH our God, YHVH is One.” Here lies the secret of the unification of the Holy One, Blessed be He, to appropriately unify His name with the will of the heart.
And from there onwards, the remembrance of “יְצִיאַת מִצְרַיִם,” the Exodus from Egypt, which is the Mitzva to mention the Exodus from Egypt, as it is written,
Deuteronomy 5:14
“וְזָכַרְתָּ כִּי עֶבֶד הָיִיתָ בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וַיֹּצִאֲךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ מִשָּׁם בְּיָד חֲזָקָה וּבִזְרֹעַ נְטוּיָה עַל כֵּן צִוְּךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת.”
“And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and YHVH your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore YHVH your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.”
