Living every moment of ones life according to the laws of the Torah is ideal. The Torah is applicable to all areas of life, in all ages and in all situations.
A thorough knowledge of practical halocho and Torah hashkofo is essential to all walks of life.
A Torah Jew should be an example to everyone on how to behave as a true servant of Hashem so that he can be a true source of blessing. As Hashem said to Avrohom Ovinu, the nations of the world will bless saying “May your offspring be like that”.
That is the true aim of a Ben Torah. Irrespective of how many years he sits and learns, he must be aware of his purpose as an individual Jew and as part of the chosen nation.
