by Rav Avraham Yitzchak Kook
There is no doubt that I must pay attention to my inner sense of which parts of the Torah are particularly necessary for me and congruent with the needs of my soul. This is the case even though I shouldn’t [allow myself to] be drawn after [these parts] entirely, [since] it is sometimes necessary to battle with one’s feelings.
[Still, I have to know that] there is a reason that [my] inner spirit is roused to pull me to hidden, [kabbalistic] teachings—even matters beyond my level and degree.
Indeed, “the heart of a wise man knows a time and a judgment,” “to know how to sustain the tired person with words.”
Chadarav, p. 105
