Studying with the Soul

...not with the intellect

Kabbalah is not studied with the intellect. It is studied with the soul.


"Why is all so complex (Rav Laitman refers to the study of Talmud Eser Sefirot (The Study of the Ten Sefirot), a daily study text of the Bnei Baruch World Center for Kabbalah Studies)? What is complex is not at all complex as compared to what exists. The problem is not the complexity. During our studies we use our soul vessels and not our intellectual vessels. Were I to learn with the intellect, I would have noted it down, understood it, received it as vessels and constructed a picture out of it. This picture would have been more or less clear and I would have understood it in a determined way, to which I would only add. This is the way I have studied all the subjects, let us say, in the university and after that as well.

But here we study with the soul!"
