This week's parsha talks about observing mitzvos and following all that Hashem has commanded us. The Zera Shimshon brings a Gemara in Avoda Zara (3a), which states that now is the time to do mitzvos, because one will no longer be able to do mitzvos in the World to Come.
The main avoda of this world is -- in the words of the Zera Shimshon -- to be borer, to differentiate between good and evil. On Shabbos borer is not allowed. The World to Come will be completely Shabbos-like. Additionally, borer is often done with a utensil, a more effective way to separate good and bad; Torah is our utensil to differentiate between good and evil.
