One who acquires his world in an hour

There is someone who is worthy of reaching the life of the next world for only a short moment or through a single deed that he only thinks he has done (a buyer achieves a goal. His world is the world of the next world or the Garden of Eden. One hour of prayer is a short time).

("They said about him, on the authority of R.A. Ben Dordia, that no prostitute ever lived in the world without a man coming to her. Once, a man heard that there was a prostitute in the seashore who used to take a pocketful of dinars as her wages. He took a pocketful of dinars and went and crossed seven rivers with her. At the hour of the plague, the word of the plague came to him, saying: When this prostitute does not return to her place, Thus Eleazar ben Durdiya did not receive him in return. He went and sat between two mountains and hills, saying: The mountains and hills begged for mercy on me... He said: There is no matter that follows me except through me, he placed his head between his knees and wept until his breath was out. A daughter cried out and said: Rabbi ben Durdiya is a thief in my life. The world is coming... my rabbi wept and said: There is one who buys his world for as many years, and there is one who buys his world in one hour" - Avoda Zarah 17:1, and so: "And all these things I have done, so that they may know and see the greatness of the price of the assembly of all, by whose hand a man bought his world in one hour" - Mordecai ben Yehezkel/ Sefer Hamaoshiyot Helek Quarter, Loya, 72)
