Musar su Salmi 119:18
גַּל־עֵינַ֥י וְאַבִּ֑יטָה נִ֝פְלָא֗וֹת מִתּוֹרָתֶֽךָ׃
Apri i miei occhi, affinché io possa vedere cose meravigliose dalla tua legge.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
The upshot of all the foregoing is that we must study Torah לשמה, as is spelled out beautifully in the benediction preceding the קריאת שמע prayer every morning. We say there: ללמוד וללמד לשמור ולעשות ולקים, "to learn and to teach to observe and to do and to fulfil the words of Your Holy Torah." This means that we ask G–d's assistance to fulfil all that is given to us to fulfil personally. Anything that through no fault of ours we cannot fulfil personally, we should teach others to fulfil -wherever possible. When this too is impossible, we ask G–d's assistance in what we recited a few lines earlier in that benediction, namely to enlighten us to gain insight and understanding of His Holy Torah. This is similar to King David's prayer in Psalms 119,18: גל עיני ואביטה נפלאות מתורתך, "Open my eyes that I may perceive the wonders of Your teachings." He meant, of course, the mystical aspects of the Torah.
