His world is woven with the threads of cause and effect; she makes her choices with no need for reason.
He questions every premise; she accepts with complete certitude.
His world revolves around his own good; her’s around that which has greater gravitational pull.
Yet, without one another, neither is complete, neither can find it’s own essence or know its own truth.
Superficially, they seem impossibly incompatible.
At their core, intellect and faith are the perfect marriage.
Va’erah 5721:4; Maamar Bayom Ashtei Asar.
Alternating Between Opposites
Spiritually, the Kabbalists tell us, that 'Faith' corresponds to our momentary belief when a person feels love, connection and the greatness of G_dliness.
This glimpse is our destination, our compass. It allows us to sense where we are aiming for.
Then he loses control of that high place only to fall back into this world, knowing that he still dwells within his gross egoistic nature.
Our 'intellect' shows us where we currently exist.
In this way our journey progresses.
