Torah 121 · תורה קכ״א

“Az Amarti (Then I said), ‘Behold, I have come with the scroll of the Book which is written on my account.’ To fulfill Your will….” (Psalms 40:8, 9)

When a person looks into and studies from a book, and in every place which he looks into and studies he finds himself—i.e., he takes personally the moral instruction and from every place recognizes his own lack of importance and baseness, no matter from which book he studies—this is a sign that he desires to fulfill God’s will.

And this is [the meaning of ]: “Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come with the scroll of the Book which is written on my account.’” This is a sign that “to fulfill Your will, my God, do I desire.”
