SF - The Boundless Value of Torah

The Boundless Value of Torah

There was once a man who was an expert of real-estate evaluation. He would look at a lot and know its value and how much it would cost to build a house on the property. He could estimate the real-estate value of the entire city. He could even calculate the real-estate value of the entire country. Once, someone asked him, "What is the worth of the sunlight?" He responded, "We can only put a value on something that has a limit of its worth. However, the light of the sun makes life possible. Therefore, since it's value is boundless, it is priceless." 

Lesson: If the value of the sunlight is priceless, how much more is this true of the spiritual light of the Torah. The whole world only exists and was created for the sake of Torah learning and its fulfillment. Therefore, the Torah is infinitely worthy and far more valuable than all of the gold and silver in the world.

Visualization: Envision Moshe Rabenu studying the Torah with great dedication, holiness, and joy. See how the Torah is of primary importance and how the Torah illuminates and sanctifies the souls of all mankind.  
(Based on the writings of the Chofetz Chaim)
