The Business of Torah

It says in Mishlei (Proverbs) that the business of Torah is preferable to that of money. The Ishbitzer Rebbe explains that this is because in business the goal is to make money; the faster and easier the better. If someone needs to exert much effort to close a deal it can be frustrating and oftentimes feel like a waste of time. "I just want to make money, not waste my time with all these discussions, phone calls, and meetings. "
However, when it comes to Torah study it is vastly different. The entire time that one is engaged in acquiring Torah knowledge he is  engrossed in receiving the Torah from God. The longer it takes, the longer his direct connection continues. As the point of Torah study is to develop and enhance ones relationship with God, the longer ones efforts to comprehend continue the better.
