This Ma’amar which the Rebbe repeats rather often is about the idea of two levels of Yomim Tovim. The greater of the two types are Teshuva Yomim Tovim such as Yom Kipur (when we got the second Luchos) and Chamisha Asar BiAv (when the Beis HaMikdash is built after destruction).

1) Elul is time of Teshuva 2) we get the strength for Teshuva from the 13 attributes of mercy: the King in the field. 3) The King visits the field because each Jew is חלק אלוק ממעל ממש. 4) In the City, Field, desert 5) In the desert you find if you search there; the…

Levels of higher and higher Simcha justifies bringing Joy to the (already) Joyous.
