05 - Individuality and Self-Expression, the Torah Way

How can I express my individuality within a Torah framwork?

Should I trust my intuition, or turn to the Torah for guidance? How do I balance the two?

Rav Kook sheds light on the appropriate relationship between these two important principles - self trust on the one hand, and on the other hand, turning to the Torah and Hashem's more explicit wisdom as guidance.

1.

האדם הישר צריך להאמין בחייו. כלומר שיאמין בחיי עצמו והרגשותיו ההולכות בדרך ישרה מיסוד נפשו, שהם טובים וישרים ושהם מוליכים בדרך ישרה. התורה צריכה שתהיה נר לרגלו, שעל ידה יראה את המקום ששם הטעות עלולה, שלפעמים תתע הנפש בתהו לא דרך. אבל המעמד התמידי צריך להיות הבטחון הנפשי. 

2.

האיש הישראלי מחויב להאמין, שנשמה אלהית שרויה בקרבו, שעצמותו כולה היא אות אחת מן התורה. ואות מן התורה היא עולם מלא, ההולך ומתרבה לאין שיעור, כי אפילו להתפשטות הרוחנית של גרגר חול אחד ג"כ אין מדה וקצב, ולא יכילו שנות האדם לבאר את כל המון החקים המיוסדים בחכמה ומשולבים בדעה וגבורה נוראה שבקרבו.

3.

 וקל וחומר העם צריך בכללו להאמין באמונה בהירה ונלהבת מאד בחייו בנטיותיו וללכת בהם בבטחה, אז ידע איך משתמשים לאורה של תורת חיים.
