Kabbalists About Studying Kabbalah, Part 1

Dr. Michael LaitmanDear Friends, please ask questions about these passages from the great Kabbalists. The commentaries in brackets are mine.

Concerning the Obligation of Each Person to Study the Wisdom of Kabbalah

The study of the wisdom of Kabbalah is an absolute must for any person [otherwise he will not fulfil his purpose and will live his life in vain].
– Baal HaSulam, “Introduction to The Mouth of a Sage

The Creator feels no contentment in His world except when people engage in this wisdom [since with its help they will reveal Him]. Moreover, man was created only to study the wisdom of Kabbalah [since only by applying it a person reaches the purpose of his creation].
– Rav Chaim Vital, “Preface to the Gate to Introductions”

It is of utter [implicit] necessity [given from Above] for anyone from Israel, whoever he may be, to engage in the internality of the Torah and in its secrets [Kabbalah]. Without it, the intention of Creation will not be completed in him.
– Baal HaSulam, “Introduction to The Mouth of a Sage

The redemption of Israel [from egoism and, hence, from all of its problems] and the rise of Israel [its independence, safety, and the right place among the nations of the world] depend on the study of The Zohar and the internality of the Torah.
Baal HaSulam, “Introduction to The Book of Zohar,” Item 89

[23956]

  1. How a person experience about his Kabbalah studies in a daily life ?
    And how he can be sure that he is doing his studies in the right way ?
    Since kabbalah is a spiritual science does it have any physically effects on the heart (like feeling a little pain on the heart ) or is it just a psychological ?

    Thank you very much with my best regards .

  2. Shamati … 4 … THE HEAVINESS ONE FEELS WHEN ANNULLING BEFORE THE CREATOR ,,,
    “the essence of one’s work is only to come to the sensation of the existence of the Creator, meaning to feel the existence of the Creator, that “the whole earth is full of His glory.” This will be one’s entire work, meaning all the vigor that he puts into the work will be only to achieve that, and not for any other things.”
