“A quotation-a-day by
Rabbi Avigdor Miller”
People
are misled by the Mishnah that says, "Don’t be like servants who serve
their master for the sake of receiving a reward" (Pirkei Avos). That
really means the reward should not be the only motivation.
Certainly a person should hope for a reward. When he puts a mezuzah on his door he should desire a reward for it. When he says Krias Shema or Shemoneh Esrei, he should desire a reward for his actions. — Ohr Avigdor Shaar Avodas Elokim

Chovos Halevavos has become the foundation
for Jews in their service of Hashem. Great Torah luminaries, e.g. Rabbi Yosef Karo, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the
Vilna Gaon and Rabbi Elimelech of
Lizhensk immersed themselves in the sefer and encouraged others to do
likewise. Simchas Hachaim
Publishing is publishing Chovos Halevavos with Rabbi
Avigdor Miller’s insights.
