טעם למדת אהבה ויראה מפני שאם לא הי' לאדם כ"א האהבה של השי"ת. הי' האדם רגיל תמיד עם השי"ת וגם הי' נטבע באדם אהבה ונעשה לו טבע. אך מכח היראה שעמה הוא ירא לגשת:
The reason both love and fear of HaShem, blessed is He, are necessary, is as follows: If a person only had love of HaShem, blessed is He, he would become accustomed to always be with HaShem, blessed is He. The love would thus become so embedded in him that it would become natural and familiar to him. However, through fear of HaShem that is joined to love of Him, he fears approaching. This will suffice for the understanding.
