We have so many yetzer haras that prevent us from fixing a time to sit and learn Torah. Parnasa calls, our family has needs. The big football game. If only we could see that our life on Earth is only the prelude to "the great big play," we'd learn more Torah.
May we all merit to learn a Daf of Gamara, and then some more and then some more, so that we all may reunite our guf and our neshama in techias hamaysim.

Since we've gone 80 posts now and the OP has refused to follow up with an understandable quote to the one above, it's become time to make it more understandable one even though I don't understand why he created it in the first place so on one could understand what he typed.
I'll start with the first part:
In the Olam Hanashamot (The World of Souls), Chofetz Chaim says the only merits we have to rise during Techias Hamaysim (revival of the dead), is our Torah learning. He says a Jew who does mitzvot (commandments) but never fixes a time to learn Torah, they will enjoy the beauty of Olam Haba (The World to Come) , but their body and soul are discarded when techias Hamaysim comes.
Chofetz Chaim was a person (or a book from 1873) and not a part of the Talmud.

So now we have the OP stating "Chofetz Chaim says the only merits we have to rise during Techias Hamaysim (revival of the dead), is our Torah learning." from a book about "Evil tongue".
Here is a link to the book in Hebrew. So if the OP can find what he quoted in English, it would be extremely helpful in making the point he is trying to make.

So why would the OP state that one of the most influential Jewish religious figures of the twentieth century who established his reputation first and foremost as an opponent of lashon hara, evil speech and then do so himself?
