12. If One Does Not Practice What One Learns, One Should Feel Ashamed in Front of Virtuous Books
We study the teachings of the sages to educate and advance our communities. If we do not harmonize ourselves with these teachings and not act as a role model for others, but instead indulge in fame and financial gain, then we will be the first to come to this hell for remedial study. After that, one goes to other hells to clear one’s sins.
