What aren’t you getting? It’s not about feeling good. It is the best and most committed way of worshiping Hashem. Intrinsic value doesn’t mean getting reward. Intrinsic value means it is the best way. Now, of course you get much more S’char for doing ??? ?? ??? ???? ??? since you are actually serving Hashem better. But that is not a Stira. The point is not to do it for that sake. Your reason for training yourself to reach the level of doing it purely for Hashem might be for the reward. But having gotten to that level means that you no longer think about the reward, only about how grateful you are to be doing Hashem’s Mitzvos.
