In spiritual development, education, reason, and mental abilities have absolutely no meaning.

I have seen this from my own experience. I always considered myself smart; I wanted to develop, and naturally respected reason, understanding, and knowledge. For me, it was simply divine when a person knows, understands, realizes, thinks, analyzes, and synthesizes everything that he feels and perceives. But in the end, it turns out no one needs any of it. It is amazing that no one needs it.

In fact, spiritual work comes down to finally realizing with your developed brains that you do not need them. All you need are to do things that cause the influence of the upper light on you. It will change your desires, not your mind, but your desires. In accordance with the new desires, a new mind will develop that will serve these desires. That is all.

It took me a long time to finally realize that knowledge is not important; it is only needed to summon the upper light.

That is why all the smart guys who come to study Kabbalah and want to figure everything out quickly with their brains and move forward “crash” like waves against this stone wall until they begin to realize that the opposite is true.
