Preparing for Shabbos All Week

Chazal said (Avodah Zarah 2a), "Whoever toiled on Erev Shabbos will have what to eat on Shabbos." The Abir Yaakov taught that this hints at a person who prepares during the six weekdays by learning Torah for its own sake, davening properly and carefully keeping the mitzvos, all with love, awe and joy. Such a person earns the extra three levels of soul on Shabbos Kodesh: nefesh, ruach and neshamah. Whoever does not toil in spiritual matters all week should not expect to enter Shabbos with his soul aflame. He found this in the two verses in Shemos 20:8-10. "Remember the Shabbos day to sanctify it" depends on the next verse, "For six days you shall toil."
