כי לא על הלחם לנדו יחיה האדם
ki lo al ha-lechem l’vado yichyeh ha-adam
… that not by bread alone does man live
(D’varim 8:3)
אל תתן לחית נפש תורך — דו זאָלסט נישט אוועקגעבען „תורך“ דײַן תורה צוליב חית נפש, צוליב פּרנסה. (ר’ זושא האניפּאָליער)
“Al-titein lichayat nefesh torecha” (Do not deliver the soul of thy turtledove unto the wild beast. Psalms 74:19) — you should not give away “torecha” (your turtle dove) your Torah because of the animal soul, [nor] for the sake of [your] livelihood. (R’ Zusha Hanipolier)
I believe the master is using the psalm as a proof text to give us a remez (a teaching based on a hint or subtle indication in the text).
