What does it mean: to walk in the paths of Hashem?
Rambam: to be like Him — rachum, chanun, etc.
R’ Avraham, son of Rambam: meaning what? Meaning, not just doing things that are merciful, kind, etc., but actually feeling those things.
The Rebbe: it means to experience emotions and be emotional and act emotionally like Hashem. Human emotions are reactive. Hashem’s emotions are rational: they are measured responses to a situation as it deserves them.
Don’t do kindness blindly — it will hurt. Don’t become angry without bounds. Do both things rationally, constructively and to the point.
More to come later, iy"H.
