The Holiness of A Sefer Torah

The Maharal Diskin as a young bochur would sit in front of his father's bais din room and any question that was brought before his father would be told to him first and while the question was being asked to his father he would do the research and come to his own conclusion. He said that came to the same conclusion as his father in all shailos except for one. The only shailoh that he didn't come up with the same answer as his father was a question regarding a burnt Sefer Torah. The questioners came out from his fathers study and he told them what he thought the ruling was and asked what his father had said. They answered that his father upon hearing the question fainted. In that aspect the Maharal Diskin said, he didn't come close to his father, to react to a Sefer Torah as one reacts to a loved one and to feel the pain of a Sefer Torah and just faint upon hearing that one had been burned. The Alshach in last week's Parsha says that holiness of a Sefer Torah isn't just because it's a holy book that tells us how to live - rather it is a part of Hashem himself. Every letter in the Torah is a name of Hashem- which is the way Hashem manifests himself in this world. That is the meaning of what we say Shabbos Mincha "Ata echad, Veshimcha echad" the name of Hashem is one means that the Torah which is made up of Hashem's names are one. How many of us gave any more then a sigh when we heard that four Sifrei Torah were burned? Was our reaction anywhere close to fainting? Do we really realize that every Sefer Torah burned is just as if Hashem himself is being burned?
