Gift of Love quoting Rav Kook:
Philosophy only covers a limited portion of the spiritual world, and is, by its very nature, disassociated from that which is outside its scope and is essentially distcint and separate from those areas. The ability to recognize how all the opinions, feelings and inclinations, from small to large, are connected how they affect each other, and how disparate worlds are interconnected, is beyond the ability of philosophy to describe. Philosophy, therefore, will always be an aristocratic discipline dedicated to a select group of people.
Kabbalah, by contrast, has the ability to delve into the depths of all thoughts, feelings, inclinations, ambitions and worlds from beginning to end. It recognizes the unity within all of existence, physical and spiritual, on macro and micro levels, in a deeply penetrating manner. There is no great and small within Kabbalah, everything is significant, everything has inherent value, there is no wasted movement, no empty thought.
