Based on the sefer Toras Ha'Ro'eh by R' Areleh Har'el. P. 176. The great difference between Torah in Eretz Yisrael (above and below) and the diaspora (only below). Limud Torah (learning) is a gift from Above to be able to connect to something that is not naturally from the world. Good midos (character traits) - the most basic prerequisite for attaining understanding (as a gift from Hashem) of Torah. What is a peson's motivation for learning? Is he learning for himself? The biggest mistakes, due to people with unrefined midos (character traits), are made in the universities - the smartest people in the world often are the most conceited people in the world. The requirements to become great in Torah. It's not just from learning, it's also from davening.
