There are four levels of joy:1) “Serve G-d with joy.” This joy is secondary to the primary objec- tive: serving G-d.2) “Rejoice in your festivals.” Here the joy itself is the mitzvah, but the joy is related to a specific cause, to the festival.3) “When the month of Adar commences we increase in joy.” The joy of Adar is not attributed to any mitzvah, rather it connotes a general joy that imbues even mundane activities.4) “The joy of Purim.” On Purim one is not only oblivious to the source of the joy, but even to the joy itself.The joy of Purim is an expression of the deepest dimension of the soul that transcends awareness of self. It was this level that was revealed during the days of Mordechai and Esther and led to the salvation that likewise transcended the natural order. The Lubavitcher Rebbe
