Step 92 - Serving Hashem

One who reviews a Torah lesson 101 times is called a Servant of Hashem. Chagiga 9b. Why is this ?
Rav Miller ztl explains in Rejoice O Youth p. 302 because the primary purpose of our lives is to develop our desire to serve Hashem. One who develops his free will to choose to master & perfect his thinking & learning is achieving true closeness to Hashem.
