    ALL of these maamorim boil down to

    Instruct and acclimatize the brain, the intellect, how to control and refine the emotions.

    I.e. all details in how the brain should rule the heart.

      For a deep take on lose yourself. See Eminem lyrics to his song loose yourself. ​One frame that helps me start to feel this idea is to start to observe/watch myself like I observe and watch others. A little detachment from and I call Me. It’s not easy but as you start to practice it, It starts to become easier and more natural.

    2 types of humble people

    The first says :"see how humble I am! I get first prize for humility!"

    The second has no interest how his humility rates, he's just plain humble.

    A real love includes going away if sent by the loved one

    By going away as requested, one shows a deeper love to do that which the beloved asks for.

    But....it says we must listen to the baal habayis in everything he asks EXVEOT6 to leave! If our beloved says to leave permanently, must one listen to show love? Did Hashem send us away permanently or were we just sent away temporarily on a mission (to refine the world) before being summoned back?

    So true closeness

    to GD and to another person is only there when each side (only?) thinks about the other?
