Let's say I met a mathematician and we started talking about calculus. Let's say I didn't know the depth of his knowledge, and in my limited understanding I said that calculus was nonsense. My words wouldn't be a reflection on calculus, rather, they'd be a reflection on me. The mathematician may remain silent on the matter, but I'd have revealed myself to him, and he'd know that I don't know.
The Wisdom of Kabbalah (The Science of Kabbalah) [2] is the science of our connection with God. Just because we don't understand Kabbalah, doesn't mean it's a cult. There are some people who truly understand Kabbalah and to them it's something they really KNOW.
Let's say I met a Kabbalist and we started talking about God. Let's say I didn't know the depth of her knowledge, and in my limited understanding I said that Kabbalah was nonsense. My words wouldn't be a reflection on Kabbalah, rather, they'd be a reflection on me. The Kabbalist may remain silent on the matter, but I'd have revealed myself to her, and she'd know that I don't know.
There are many different kinds of people with many different kinds of abilities - some people can paint and draw and create artistic pieces, others can read music and play musical instruments, some people can sing, others are good with numbers, some are good with minute details, some people are great organizers, others are good with animals, some people are great chefs etc. Our God-given traits are varied and unique. Just because we don't understand each other, doesn't mean the other person is wrong. It simply means we're different and we're meant to play different roles.
We're all one family and soon we'll connect into ONE, then the purpose of our varied traits will be revealed. We'll see how we're all different, how we all have different roles to play, and how, even though we're different, we're all equal.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
