"The definition of mitzvos as a command-only has relevance when the person has a separate existence unto himself, as then it is defined as the command of G-d Alm-ghty to conduct oneself according to His will.

However, after the completion of a person’s service in the fulfillment of the mitzvos, when his entire existence (in every detail) is instilled with the will of G-d, the person is placed in a situation of tzavsa (the word “mitzvah” is a derivative of “tzvasa”) v’chibbur, a connection with G-d Alm-ghty, to the point that they become one, “Israel (through Torah) and the Holy One Blessed Be He, are truly one,” as it will be in actual and revealed sense in the Future to Come.

Thus, there will then be no relevance to the concept of a command (since the person will have no separate identity), except that it is G-d’s will, which will surely be fulfilled (automatically) in an actual sense through the existence of the mitzvos.”
