Question:
Why is Gemara in-depth the deepest kind of connection a person can have with Hashem? I feel closer to Hashem when I learn Mesillas Yesharim!Answer:
Is learning Mesillas Yesharim a connection with Hashem or with the Torah? (Hashem). We must love Hashem, but we must also love His Torah. There is Ahavas Hashem (love of Hashem) and Ahavas HaTorah (love of the Torah). They are not two separate matters, though; they must become interconnected.
