Even when one wants to keep Torah, the obstacle is always the religious authorities who are wicked. This problem is mentioned in the Gemara, but mostly appears in the LeM of Rav Nahman.[vol I8,12,28, 61, vol II 1, 5, 8] The issue is that there is a sort of entry of the Dark Side into the world of Torah.; such that anyone who wants to keep Torah must  encounter these Torah scholars that are demons. Far be it from me to ask why this is the case, but it does imply a sort of care and caution when one tries to keep Torah not be be seduced by the Dark Side.

Since is is hard to tell the difference between authentic Tora and Torah of the evil realm, thus avoiding the religious is the best approach.
