A question about the attitude towards Torah study and its value

Hello Shay. A. There is value in studying Torah, and not necessarily in the commandment to study Torah. See my lessons here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAFe4p7SDrw These comparisons do not necessarily mean anything specific, but rather serve to extol the value of study. It is clear that Talmud Torah is being canceled to save lives. Beyond that, we should bring here the Chinese parable about the poor man who receives two pennies and buys a slice of bread and a flower. He is asked why he did not buy two slices, and he replies that the bread is for living and the flower is for having something to live for. And this kind of reasoning in Meiri, who explains why Talmud Torah is canceled for every mitzvah, even though the Torah is against all of them. And Meiri explains that study is for fulfilling, and if because of study one does not fulfill, what is the use of study? However, the content here is the opposite (that study is a means to existence) and I, the little one, do not agree with this, and so on. I don’t know how to explain the value of studying Torah. Rabbi Molozhin in Nefesh HaChaim and the author of Tanya write that studying is adhering to the will of God (which He and His will are one), and therefore it is the purpose of existence. B. In my opinion, no. They are instruments of a mitzvah. Just as building a sukkah is an instrument for fulfilling the mitzvah of sitting in a sukkah. Although pepper should be considered an instrument (are they part of the mitzvah or just a mundane act that is necessary for the mitzvah but has no value in itself). I will only note that studying this type of wisdom is important in itself, not just as a means of fulfilling this or that mitzvah.
