Balance the intellect and the emotion

Hi,

"Due to a person's weakness, when he is able to engage in intellectual exploration then his foundation in faith is weakened, and when he is complete in his faith then he is likely to reduce his insight and the wisdom of his heart. But the goal of the straight path is that each strength not reduce the other, and not be reduced by it, but it should be revealed in its full strength as though it reigned alone."

(Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook, Orot Yisrael 8:1)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
