Kabbalah su Proverbi 6:23
כִּ֤י נֵ֣ר מִ֭צְוָה וְת֣וֹרָה א֑וֹר וְדֶ֥רֶךְ חַ֝יִּ֗ים תּוֹכְח֥וֹת מוּסָֽר׃
Perché il comandamento è una lampada, e l'insegnamento è leggero, e le riprogrammazioni sono il modo di vivere;
Or Neerav
How has become dim (Lam. 4:1) for them the candle of commandment and the light of Torah (Prov. 6:23) which gives light to these hypocrites. For like the grass they will soon wither (Ps. 37:2), since a mistake in learning causes intentional sin, Sheol and Abaddon (Prov. 15:11), the venom of serpents and the poison of vipers (Deut. 32:33). But they are altogether brutish and foolish (Jer. 10:8), [following] after vanity, and they will become naught (Jer. 2:5), attempting to bring forth a perverted justice (Hab. 1:4) which will eventuate in a defective deed. Turn away from the tents (Num. 16:26) of the man who slumbers, the ass of a wild man (Job 11:12); a fool and ignorant man is his companion, brutish, unlike a man (Prov. 30:2), who errs and is like a fool.

Derech Etz Chayim (Ramchal)
As in the words of King Solomon (Mishlei 6:23): "...and The Torah is a light" - literally light and not just wisdom nor analogous to light, literally light, as this it's reality above. So, when The Torah enters the soul, the light enters, as the ray of the sun enters a house. Furthermore, accurately analogous to The Torah is fire and as with a coal, the fire is contained within it and just needs a burst of oxygen to ignite the flame to expose it's many colors which were hidden prior.

Torah is also a correction that can protect one from Keri, and this is hinted in the Zohar in Vayeshev: “223. Rabbi Yosi said that when a man notices that he is assailed by evil thoughts, he should study the Torah and they will pass. Rabbi Elazar said that when the Evil Side comes to crush man, he should draw it toward the Torah and it will part from him. 224. Come and behold: we have learned that when the Evil Side stands before the Holy One, blessed be He, and indicts the world for its evil sins, the Holy One, blessed be He, pities the world and advises men on how to be saved from it, so it will not control them or their deeds. The advice is to escape the Evil Side by studying the Torah diligently. HE ASKS: How do we know this? HE ANSWERS: From the verse, “For Your commandment is a lamp; and Torah is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,” which is followed by the verse: “To keep you from the evil woman, from the smoothness of the tongue of a foreign woman” (Mishlei 6:23-24). THE TORAH THEN PRESERVES ONE FROM THE EVIL INCLINATION. 225. The Side of Defilement, the Other Side, is always before the Holy One, blessed be He, blaming men for their transgressions. It also stands below to accuse men for their sins. HE EXPLAINED THAT it stands above to remind men of their sins and to accuse them for their deeds, because they were given over to its power, as was Job WHEN THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, SAID TO THE SATAN: “HE IS IN YOUR HAND” (IYOV 2:6).” It is known that the force of Keri comes from the ‘foreign woman’, as we have just quoted in the Zohar, and thus the Torah is a protection that protects man from these powers.
