Shmiras Halashon, Part 3 Ch. 1 – 55

The verse states, ‘for I have given you good merchandise, do not leave my Torah’. ‘Good’ is a relative term, for something considered good by a poor person is worthless to a rich person, and something valuable to a rich person is considered negligible to a king, etc. So the verse tells us that the Torah is considered good even by the Creator Himself, so much so that he saves it in his treasure house. From this we understand that it must be essentially good, and we should never forsake it.

“And the utterly undoubtable truth is that if the entire world, from one end to the other, would be absent of our engagement and delving into the Torah, even for one moment, literally, then all the worlds - both upper and lower - would be destroyed instantly, and would turn into utter chaos, chas v’shalom…” (Nefesh Hachaim)
