ברכות כח,א

כל תלמיד שאין תוכו כברו a student who is not transparent, his inside is not like is outside, אל יכנס לבית המדרש should not enter the Beis Hamedrash because he is not honest and will argue and not admit the truth. The Meharsha compares it to a beautiful pitcher filled with ashes with no yiras shomayim. They opened up the Beis Hamedrash figuring
איכה רבה (וילנא) פתיחתות, מתוך שהיו מתעסקין בה המאור שבה היה מחזירן למוטב, when a person deals in Torah, the light in it will turn him back to the good. This explains why we don’t say the reverse כל תלמיד שאין ברו כתוכו even though the inside is more important than the outside, because the inside is no good. If someone hates another because he feels he has been hurt, and is suppose tell him about it and not keep his hatred bottled up inside. It says לא תשנא את אחיך בלבבך explains the Rashbam there that don’t let the hatred fester in the heart, הוכח תוכיח את עמיתך tell your friend about it and then your friend knows that he hurt you and he will excuse himself which will bring to peace. When it comes to continuous hatred, we should keep in mind the words of Chinuch 241, שלא לקום, do not take revenge. Do not shoot the messenger. The person hurting you is a messenger of Hashem to remind you of your sins. Therefore, forgive him.
