Talmud sobre Pirkei Avot 1:13
הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, נָגֵד שְׁמָא, אָבֵד שְׁמֵהּ. וּדְלֹא מוֹסִיף, יָסֵף. וּדְלֹא יָלֵיף, קְטָלָא חַיָּב. וּדְאִשְׁתַּמֵּשׁ בְּתָגָא, חָלֵף:
Él (Hillel) solía decir: Quien proyecta ("negad") su nombre pierde su nombre. [Quien "extienda" su nombre (lejos) en señorío y autoridad pronto perderá su nombre, porque "el señorío entierra a sus practicantes". (El targum de "mishchu" es "negidu")], y el que no agrega [a su aprendizaje], terminará (yasif) [de su boca lo que ya aprendió y olvidará su aprendizaje. Otros lo leen "ye'asef (es decir," se reunirá "con su pueblo y morirá antes de tiempo), y el que no aprende [(ab initio, que es más severo que no añadir a la propia aprendizaje,]] incurre en la pena de muerte. [Es decir, merece ser asesinado (a saber, Pesachim 49b): "Está permitido rasgar un ignoramus abierto, como un pez— y de su espalda, "(tal" desgarro "es mortal)], y el que" usa "(es decir, explota) la" corona "(taga) [de la Torá (como el que" usa "sus platos)] fallece [del mundo. Hay algunos que explican "taga" como "talmid" (discípulo); "gavra" (un hombre); "achrina" (otro) —es decir, está prohibido que un hombre emplee para su beneficio discípulos que no son suyos. Y he escuchado: "Y uno que usa taga (el nombre inefable) fallece y se pierde (del mundo), no tiene una participación en el mundo por venir.]
Jerusalem Talmud Sheviit
Avot D'Rabbi Natan
One who pursues a name, loses his name. How so? This teaches us that a person should not seek to be known in the state, for eventually they will begin to take note of him, and then kill him and take his money.
He who does not serve the sages, deserves death. How so? (They tell) There is a story about a person from Beit Ramah who conducted himself with great piety. Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai sent one of his students to go check up on him. The student went, and found him putting oil on a stovetop, and then taking it off and putting it on beans. The student said to him: What are you doing? He replied: I am a high priest, and I am eating the priestly tithe in a state of [ritual] purity. The student said: But is that stovetop impure or pure? He said: Does it say anywhere in the Torah that a stovetop can be impure? The Torah speaks only of an oven becoming impure, as it says (Leviticus 11:33), “Everything in it becomes impure.” The student replied: Just as the Torah speaks of an oven becoming impure, so it speaks also of a stovetop becoming impure, as it also says (Leviticus 11:35), “An oven and a stovetop must be smashed; they are impure.” And if that is so, you have never eaten the priestly tithe in a state of purity in your entire life!
He who does not add, loses. How so? This teaches us that if a person learns only one tractate – or even two, or three – but does not keep adding to them, in the end he will forget even those he did learn.
He who uses it as a crown, perishes, and then it is lost to him. How so? For anyone who uses the Ineffable Name of God has no share in the World to Come.
