10.2.22

every word of Torah [the Written Law and the Gemara ] is worth as much as all the other commandments

The approach of the Gra is that every word of Torah [the Written Law and the Gemara ] is worth as much as all the other commandments put together. But what diminishes the effect of learning Torah is when it gets mixed up with other stuff. It as healthy as a fudge sundae mixed with a tiny bit of cyanide at the bottom. So while Torah would be a correction to all kinds of strange notions going around nowadays, still at present, even learning Torah can not help. Torah can help only when it is authentic.
