Torah 142

One who cannot learn at all — such as one who is an unlearned person [am ha-aretz] — or has no book — or is on the road in the wilderness and the like — but whose heart burns within him and he yearns and longs greatly to learn Torah — then what the heart desires to learn — this itself is the aspect of learning from a book. [See the main text: There are two true Tzadikim who speak to one another and are at a distance from each other. And this Tzadik poses a difficulty in Torah — and the second Tzadik in his own place says something that is the answer to this difficulty. And sometimes this one poses a question and that one poses a question — and the question of the one is the answer to the question of the other. And through this they speak to one another — in the aspect of: ""then those who feared Hashem spoke with one another"" [Malachi 3:16] — ""spoke"" specifically. And no one hears this except Hashem Yisborach — and He, may He be blessed, joins the matters together and writes them in a book of remembrance — in the aspect of: ""and Hashem hearkened and heard — and a book of remembrance was written before Him"" [ibid.]. And this book upon which their words are written is the aspect of the supernal heart. And there their words are written in the aspect of: ""inscribe them upon the tablet of your heart"" [Proverbs 3:3]. And the one whose heart burns within him and desires to learn — only he cannot — receives from this supernal heart. And from there his heart receives its yearning. And then what the heart desires etc.]
