Both in Faith and in Reason

563Question: In which cases should we turn to faith and in which cases to reason? How do we define this?

Answer: It is natural. Everyone can tell what they are working with now: faith or reason. Faith is Malchut, which gives you the opportunity to feel, and reason is the first nine Sefirot, which reveal the spiritual structure. Therefore, it is clear to a person what he is working with.

Question: In which cases do you need to work in faith, and in which cases do you need to use reason?

Answer: It is necessary to use both. It depends on what inner necessity you feel. You can work with both reason and faith, explore yourself, the ten, and the group.

Do not confuse reason with what we define in everyday life. You cannot do anything without reason. You cannot lock away either faith or reason and work only with the latter.
