Counting for life

Why do we spend 7 weeks counting to a special day ?
The Mitzva of Sefiras haomer , some say is Mitzva 306 of 613 , while others say it is 307. Either way the Chinuch says teaches us the primary purpose of life - to study Hashems Torah which He gave us on Shevuos.
That is why we begin to count on Pesach for that is the purpose of freedom.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
