[Avodah] mei marom

[Eli Turkel]

I found the following in sefer HaIkkarim maamar 3 perek 29

One can achieve Olam Haba with one action even if it is not a mitzvah
if he is doing it for
the honor of heaven or the Torah.
Examples he brings the launderer in the neighborhood of Rebbe who got
Olam Haba because he was upset that
he didn't give proper respect to Rebbe and died with that sorrow.
Similarly the executioner of R. Chaninah ben Tradyon that got Olam
Haba because he made sure that RChbTr didn't
suffer too much.and so deserved Olam Haba. Similarly in Mesechet
Taanait brings many stories that Eliyahu said that are
people of Olam aba even though they only did good deeds but not
mitzvot like the prison guard who separated the
men from the  women

Rather everyone has a share in the world to come at their level. Even
though some rabbis say one needs mor mitzvot then sins
it is not true rather an increase of mitzvot leads to a higher level
in olam haba but with one mitzvah one achieve some minimum level

The Hebrew is from the BarIlabn responsa CD. I can send it to anyone
interested.
copy and paste doesnt seem to be readable on avodah
