[עַל־פִּי תּוֹרָה ק"י - לֹא יָמוּשׁ סֵפֶר הַתּוֹרָה הַזֶּה מִפִּיךָ]
מַלְכִּי וֵאלֹהָי כִּי אֵלֶיךָ אֶתְפַּלָּל.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
*Learning Torah for Its Own Sake / Not Coarsening the Torah in Our Mouths / Attaining the Light of Torah*
A Jew must long to learn the Torah diligently for its own sake.
When he learns Torah with holiness and purity, he nullifies his physical being, and his heart and mind feel the Torah’s sweetness, spirituality, subtlety and depth.
However, if he has committed sins, the Torah does not illuminate him. He does not feel God’s sweetness, the greatness of the true Tzaddikim, or the revelation of Godliness that comes from Torah insights. Instead, his Torah learning grows coarse and dark, and he forgets what he learns.
As a result, learning the Torah does not help him break his evil inclination.
He must ask God to help him learn Torah for its own sake, without ulterior motives, without any ambition for honor, but only for the sake of God’s Name. Then he will know God and understand the greatness of God, the Tzaddikim and the Torah.
**The Sweetness of Torah**
“My King and my God, I will pray to You.”

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Only You know how sweet and pleasurable are all the words of Your holy, pure and perfect Torah. As the verse states, “They are more desirable than gold and fine gold. They are sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.” Their “pleasant words are like honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” The Torah’s “ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.”

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
**Coarsening the Torah**
But because I have committed so many sins, because I am so coarse and base, because of my evil actions and confused thoughts, when the Torah is in my mouth, it does not illuminate me. In fact, it, too, grows coarse and dark.
