Love your neighbor like yourself

This phrase is quoted by Rabbi Akiva who says it is a great mitzvah in the Torah. But is it really referring to? How do you show that love? Based on Gematria, we have a clue. The gematria of vehavta le'rei'acha komacha  or love your neighbor like yourself is  820. Another phrase with the same number is hevuu ameilim baTorah, or immerse yourself in Torah study, as noted by Rashi in Bechukosai.

This teaches us that you should love your neighbor to teach him Torah as if you are teaching yourself.
