So the Torah Does Not Become the Elixir of Death
Question: What actions that distance us from love of the Creator and are called the elixir of death?
Answer: Selfish intentions for one’s own sake, not for the sake of others.
Any action in spirituality is measured and weighed only by its intention: Why am I doing it, for whom, or for what? Therefore, we must be in constant intention to do everything in our power for the sake of connecting all creatures in a good relationship with the Creator.
Question: What goal should constantly be before our eyes so that the Torah does not become the elixir of death?
Answer: Uniting, correction, and mutual assistance in a group.
