There are three discernments in the Torah: 1) Tushia, which Mateshet [exhausts] a person’s strength, 2) the Torah as a spice, 3) the light of Torah.

The first two discernments are regarded as a preparation to receive the Torah. Only the third discernment is called “Torah,” which is the essence, in the sense of doing good to His creations. The first two are considered “corrections of creation.”
