Rav Matisyahu Solomon shilt”a mashgiach of Lakewood pointed out at his hesped on Maran Rav Shach Ztl, if one pay attention the ones that are saying this are people who spent every moment of their lives learning Torah, not people who spent all their days and all their effort in helping oth- ers.

Over the years I asked many gedolim the answer to the above observation and have received different answers some responded that learning Torah keeps up the world and so one who learns is indeed helping others

Upon observing the life and ways of Rav Moshe Feinstein it became clear to me that its not a contradiction one is able to learn all the time and yet still find all the time to help others.
