What does it truly mean, the most famous prayer of our people, “Shema Yisroel… Listen Jewish people, the Lord our God, the Lord is one”?!

Thousands of books can and have been written on the meaning, but the deepest, simplest meaning – as the Rebbe often teaches, the meaning which makes all the questions disappear, hence, is obviously the correct meaning, is the following:
There are two name of God referred to in this sentence; Havayeh(Lord,) which represents the infinity of God, the ability to create anything! the second name Eloikeinu(God,) represents the finity of God; the ability to channel his energy out of the infinite capacity, but create limited beings, which is a greater feat, for it is easy to be infinite or finite; but its very hard to be both simultaneously!
