Someone once remarked that in order to attain the proper fear of heaven, one must study Maimonides’ Guide for the Perplexed from the end to the beginning, so as to begin with the answers and end with the questions.
The meaning of this strange statement is that sometimes people begin with the questions and do not have the strength to continue to the answers, so they remain with the questions and never emerge from them.
Everyone must ask questions in order to learn.
Even a small child must be encouraged to ask questions, for this is the only way he will understand.
However, the distinction is in the type of questions one may ask.
Some people can ask only very simple questions, and one must accordingly supply them with simple explanations.
Other people can take apart deeper matters.
The ordinary person’s problem is not that he is unable to take the Tabernacle apart and break it down, but that he cannot always reassemble it.
