Receiving Team

The Mictav M'Eliyahu (volume 1) says that Shavuot is the time when Hashem gives the Torah but you must be willing/ want to take it.  The Torah is given, but if you don't learn it, עמל בתורה, then aren't doing your job of receiving it.
He cites from Likutay Torah in V'zos Haberecasha that we say in אהבה רבה\ אהבת עולם, בַּעֲבוּר שִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל וּבַעֲבוּר אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ שֶׁבָּטְ֒חוּ בְךָ וַתְּ֒לַמְּ֒דֵם חֻקֵּי חַיִּים לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹנְ֒ךָ בְּלֵבָב שָׁלֵם כֵּן תְּחָנֵּֽנוּ וּתְלַמְּ֒דֵֽנוּ: אָבִֽינוּ אָב הָרַחֲמָן הַמְרַחֵם רַחֵם עָלֵֽינוּ וְתֵן בְּלִבֵּֽנוּ בִּינָה לְהָבִין וּלְהַשְׂכִּיל לִשְׁמֹֽעַ לִלְמוֹד וּלְ֒לַמֵּד לִשְׁמֹר וְלַעֲשׂוֹת וּלְקַיֵּם אֶת־כָּל דִּבְרֵי־תַלְמוּד תּוֹרָתֶֽךָ בְּאַהֲבָה:  Up to תלמדנו we can ask for the זכות אות to help, up to the giving of the Torah.  But for our acceptance, it has to be done by ourselves.
The חוות דעת says in his intro. to his commentary on Yorah Deah that talmiday chachamim are called by that title because the ultimate חכם is Hashem.  He is the only one that can true חכמה and it is our job to be the talmud.  We have to be willing to receive that חכמה.
