Fulfilling the Torah is Simple but not Easy.
In summary Torah is telling us the following:
- Our purpose in this world is to pursue ultimate pleasure.
- The ultimate pleasure we are pursuing is closeness to Hashem.
- The way we ascend closer to Hashem is through aligning our thoughts, words, and actions with Him.
- The way we learn how to align ourselves with Him is through His Torah.
