A person should know that he needs Hashem’s grace and protection not only in this world but in the next world as well:
- When in the grave he needs protection lest evil spirits harm him, as it says, ‘and when you lie down [the Torah] will protect you’, referring to the grave.
- To protect him from Gehinom, and the Torah protects him from that, as it says in the Zohar, that even Torah learnt with ulterior motives saves a person from Gehinom.
- To live in the next world, as the Torah sustains him there.
- To go from level to level in the world to come.
All this happens as a result of the Torah he learned that acclaims his virtue constantly.
