The Healthy Satisfaction that Comes from Limud HaTorah Is the Best Way to Conquer All Forms of Yetzer Hara

Bitachon Weekly | June 27, 2025

Of course, the most ideal way to conquer Arayos and all forms of Yetzer Hara is the blatt Gemara. (Rambam). Those who Lig in learning are simply in a different world, and by them, even the most difficult Yetzer Hara of Redifas HaKavod is taken care of, since: אֵין כָּבוֹד אֶלָּא תוֹרָּה אבות ו ג the real Kavod is for learning Torah. (Bartenura). You simply don’t need Kavod if you’re properly involved in learning Torah. You’re full of Simcha, and have plenty of healthy: סִ יפ וּק satisfaction in the Gan Eden of your precious learning. אַשְ רֵי חֶלְקְךָ! Fortunate is your lot!

ובאבות דרבי נתן (טז ב ) מעשה בר"ע כשהלך לארץ פלוני...

We Need to Propagandize Ourselves to Help Us Appreciate and Glorify Learning Torah

And learning Torah has to be glorified constantly and appreciated more and more. Just like you keep “selling” the true evil of: רַ ע sin, you also need to have a propaganda machine that keeps appreciating what learning Torah is.
