전도서 1:7의 Chasidut

And through this the saying of the Gemara "Satan said 'where is Torah?' the Holy One said 'go to the earth' earth said 'I don't have it, go to the sea' and the sea said 'I don't have it, go to the son of Amram" (Shabbat 89a) will be explained. One needs to understand: how is it that the Holy One said something that is not [true]? And it seems that behold the Holy One of Blessing said to Satan the Accuser 'go to the earth' because [God is saying that] there is learning of Torah in worldliness and corporeality, that is, Torah not for its own sake, and even that learning is received by Me, and you cannot accuse the children of Israel. And the earth said 'I don't have it' - the explanation is that the essence of the purpose [of studying Torah] does not exist in corporeality, as explained, just 'go to the sea' which is the tzadik who raises the sparks to the Upper Sea for the sake of their raising, the tzadik that get to this level he is the essence of the purpose. And regarding this they said 'all rivers go to the sea' (Ecclesiastes 1:7) meaning rivers/nachalim comes from the expression legacy and inheritance/nachal that is the raising of sparks to the Holy are called 'inheritance' as known, and they go to the sea, "and the sea said 'I don't have it, go to the son of Amram'" meaning that there is yet another level higher than this, third, like the level of Moshe our teacher, peace be upon him, that reaches the heights of the clinging to the Creator, Blessed be, in the eternal life.

We find written in the Midrash on Mishlei (end of section 10): Rabbi Yishmael said, come and see how difficult is the Day of Judgment! In the future, the Holy One, blessed be He, will judge the whole world in the valley of Yehoshephat. When a Torah scholar comes before Him, God will ask him, “Did you study the Torah?” He will answer, “Yes.” God will then say, “If this is as you say, tell me what you have learned.” For one who has learned the Five Books of Moshe but has not learned the Mishnah, God will turn His face away from him. Then the forces of persecution will surround him like a pack of wild hounds and take him off to Gehinom. When one who has studied two or three orders of the Mishnah comes before Him, God will say to him, “My son, why did you not learn the laws by heart?” When one who has learned the laws comes before the heavenly court, God will say to him, “My son, why have you not learned the Torat Cohanim (halachic Midrash on the book of Leviticus)?” When one comes before Him who has learned the Torat Cohanim, God shall to him, “Why have you not learned the five books of Moses?” If one comes before Him who has learned the five books of Moses, and God will say to him, “Why have you not learned aggadah (legends of the Torah)? For at the time when a rabbi sits before his students and teaches the aggadot, I forgive and atone for all the sins of Israel!” If a soul comes before God who has learned the aggadot, God will ask him, “Why have you not learned the Talmud? For it is said (Kohelet, 1), “All the rivers run into the sea, and the sea is not full,” referring to the Talmud. When another one comes before God who has learned the Talmud, and God will ask him, “Why have you not glimpsed at the Holy Merkava of Divine Mysteries? For I experience no pleasure in My world like the time when the sages sit in the study of the Torah, and glimpse, look, see, contemplate the great Talmud of Divine Mysteries, knowing how My Divine throne of glory stands!”
