However, we do encounter certain difficulties with the answers. Teachers cannot give an answer whenever there is a discrepancy between the sensations of the asking disciple and the answering rabbi. Generally speaking, there is no such thing as a response \u2013 we must answer our own questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: If the answer does not exist, is a question the expression of an egoistic desire?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong>&nbsp;A response in Kabbalah is the Light that satisfies the desire. It creates in the vessel a sensation that coincides with the desire, which is called an \u201canswer.\u201d That is why an answer can only dress in the sensation that is in the desire. Thus, there can be an answer only if there is a question, a desire, that precedes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why each person feels the question within as a vessel and the answer as a Light. It is impossible to transmit the answer to another person, but only to help one go through the degrees of creation of the need within, the question, and the answer within. That is why Kabbalah is called \u201cthe wisdom of the hidden\u201d \u2013 only one who is ready to feel knows what it\u2019s about. For that person who is not yet ready, it remains hidden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Are there bad questions, or redundant ones?
