When a person performs a proper meditation on the greatness of Hashem, he will be filled with a complete awe of G-d’s glory, and it humbles the person in a powerful way. Sometimes, after a meditation, one will erupt in a fiery love of G-d, a desire to break out of the constraints of one’s physical body and unite with G-d. In order for these effects to fully manifest within the person, he must fully apply his mental faculties to truly understand the greatness of G-d, and then contemplate on it, and identify with it.
