We always need to push. Rav Yoshiyahu Pinto shlit’a just
said in his shiur that the only way to fight an obstacle in life is by picking
at it with the opposite of what nature would do. Meaning if someone for example
is working the entire year. Then at the end of the working period they decide
to go on vacation for the weekend. They believe that the entire year’s stress
and problems will go away. But this is absolutely false, if anything this
vacation will just increase the problems because all it did was delay their
confrontation.
The same goes for learning Torah and Gemara. At the
beginning of Torah learning one tells himself, I rather go bite into that juicy
piece of cake or make myself a warm cup of hot chocolate. This person in
reality takes their issues with Torah learning and just places it onto the
cake. This is NOT the true solution to their Torah learning problems. What is
the true solution? If someone sits more to learn and takes their heart and
literally shoves it into the Torah learning, slowly slowly the Torah will make
more sense and just open up for the person learning it. It is like a bug bite.
When someone has an itching bug bite driving him/her crazy, everyone knows by
ignoring it they succeed to relieve the itching sensation.
We always struggle with an emotional dilemma with Hashem. We
all go throughout our day not feeling Hashem, not seeing Him helping us with
our issues! What do we need to do? Start praying. Start learning Torah. With
this effort Hashem will answer us. He will show us the way to live our lives.
The Gemara and Limud Torah in general is like a person’s backbone. Without one’s
spine, they cannot function properly and live at all. The Torah is the
foundation of the world. It is up to us to make that a reality that the entire
Jewish population will see and live.
