Kabbalists About Kabbalah Today, Part 14
Dear Friends, please ask questions about these passages from the great Kabbalists. The commentaries in brackets are mine.
The Importance of Disseminating the Wisdom of Kabbalah
The great spiritual questions [about the Creator’s revelation to man in this world], which used to be solved [after the destruction of the Temple, during the 2000-year-long exile] only by the great and the excellent [special souls], must now be solved on different degrees for the entire nation, to lower exalted and sublime matters from the height of their tower to the depth of the common and ordinary [because we have completed the period of exile and entered the period of the humanity’s general, complete redemption from egoism and attainment of the upper world].
This requires tremendous and great richness of spirit along with constant, regular engagement, for only then the mind will expand and the language will be made clearer, to the point of expressing the deeper matters in a light and popular style, to revive thirsty souls.
– Rav Kook, Ikvei Ha’Tzon (By the Footsteps of the Flock), 54
