Torah is the interface between the Infinite and creation. On the outside, it speaks the language of humankind. On the inside, it is depth without end.

Grasp either end and you have nothing. Grasp both and you have G‑d Himself.

Sefer Hasichot 5751 vol.1, pg. 84.

When searching for Him
Know well his place
Inside of soul
Outside of space

Climb levels of thought
To the height of your mind.
Reach deep in your heart
And Him you will find

Think with your head
Feel from within
And where to look
Is out and In

Essence of the Torah The Torah is not a novel about people, places, kings, killing each other...nor is it a moral code to live in this world. It takes you through the inner process to develop your soul through a lengthy correction process.

The Torah explains how we change all our egoistic intentions towards others and use them altruistically. Every word in the Torah is only a dressing for a quality within you that can reform an egoistic intention and make it ressonate in synchrony with G_dliness.
In a specific incident, the Torah tells us that 'Cain' is a force in you that wants all the abundance for himself until 'Abel' a force that desires to give disappears. Then 'Cain' has kiilled 'Abel'. Therafter -

The Torah details how we use the help of the desire of 'Moses' to exit our evil inclination and overide it with the giving intention. Reply

Shabbat Shalom, Brenda [2015]

Although Cain killed Abel's body, he couldn't kill his soul. His blood cried out, GD heard, and justice prevailed. Eve was given another son, Seth. Seth had Enosh. Torah tells us that then men began to [again] call on the name of the Lrd [for salvation and worship] Genesis 4:26. We are shown that GD's Mercy and Steadfast Love towards us is "true," and is daily renewed. GD Is GD Alone, and isn't He Truly Amazing!

Gold Between the Pages Torah is the light of GOD to approach Torah of a humble heart is to see the revealed light she possesses. We can only grasp the portion of the light we are offered each week in the hope the parsha we receive may give out hearts enough lights to face the week ahead.Torah is re written copy of the creation GOD put in place and Moshe' wrote it down accordingly.

On grasping G-d's Torah... So what this Daily Dose is saying is that one should not only study the literal, surface meaning of Torah, but look for deeper meaning in our Holy Torah! Very well put! Reply

These pithy insights make my day The Torah is indeed of infinite depth. I am on my first cycle of Talmud and I feel like I have just scratched the surface. Reply

To Jonathan, It's the "digging of wells" that bring the clearest waters and with it the heights of joy you never thought was possible before. Reply
