To have a true connection to Torah, one must possess Yiras Shamayim – Fear of Heaven.
A person who learns Torah but does not possess any Yiras Shamayim is simply engaging in the study of ”Biblical Science” or in “Talmudic Knowledge”……….this person is about as connected to the Torah, as I am to the moon!!
<Heard Directly From Rav Mordechai Gifter Zatzal>
