When saying the shema, focus on the idea that God is:

• Everywhere,
• Infinite,
• Unique,
• Present now and always.

Witness to God's Uniqueness

We are witnesses to the fact that God is unique, as alluded to in the word "eid"--made up of the "ayin" of shema and the "dalet" of echad.

Love God

We are required to love God with our:

• Hearts (Good Inclination--yetzer ha'tov--and Evil Inclination--yetzer ha'ra),
• Souls (regardless of whether we are happy with Hashem's decrees or not), and
• "Much-ness" (interpreted to mean with all of our material belongings).
