Rabbi Meir said: Whoever occupies himself with [the study of] the Torah for its own sake merits many things; furthermore, he is worth that the whole world shall have been created because of him. He is called friend, beloved; he loves God, he loves [His] created beings; he brings joy to God, he brings joy to men. [The Torah] garbs him with humility and fear [of God]; it makes him fit to be a tzaddik [righteous], a chassid, upright and faithful; it keeps him far from sin and brings him near to meritorious deeds. People derive from him the benefit of counsel and wisdom, insight and strength, as it is stated: Counsel and wisdom are mine; I am understanding, strength is mine.2 [The Torah] bestows upon him royalty and authority, and discerning judgment; the secrets of the Torah are revealed to him, and he becomes like a fountain which flows with an ever-increasing strength and like a never-ceasing stream.
