| The Mishneh's profound wisdom is timeless. "Whoever learns Torah for the sake of Heaven will merit many things" (Mishneh Pirkei Avot 6:1). This statement means he will merit understanding the greatness of Hashem and sense the awe of the King of the universe. As a result, he will discern his inadequacies and feel he cannot sufficiently serve the Almighty. Therefore, he must strengthen his trust in the statement, "The primary purpose of creation is that humanity should call Hashem, the Merciful One" (Zohar 3:157).
Hashem revealed to Moshe Rabenu that when Klal Yisrael fulfills "the thirteen attributes of mercy" by acting mercifully to their fellow, Hashem will show them compassion. Thus, he should conduct himself with compassion in all of his deeds in this world to awaken Heaven's mercy.
"And Yehudah approached him and said, 'If you please, my lord, may your servant speak a word in my lord's ears?'" (Bereishis 44:18)
When Yoseph found his goblet in Benjamin's sack, he told the other brothers, "The man in whose possession the goblet was found, only he shall be my slave, as for you -- go up in peace to your father." (Bereishis 44:17).
The verse states, "And Yehudah approached him." Why did the verse not say, "And Yehudah approached Yoseph"? When Yehudah heard Yoseph's words, he detected the attribute of mercy. Therefore, "Yehudah approached Him," that is, "Yehudah approached HaShem." He intended to awaken HaShem's compassion found in Yoseph's heart and hoped that HaShem's mercy would bring Benjamin's release.
