QUESTION:
I have a Rebbi who knows me personally for several years and he also has keen understanding of people and how the psyche works. But I suspect that we have a very different shoresh neshamah (soul root) which doesn’t match mine. Now he has begun to give me more detailed guidance. I had a certain problem for many years and now the problem got worse. The question is: I have no idea if I should continue to get guidance from this Rebbi for the problem I have, due to the glaring discrepancy between my shoresh neshamah and his. What can I do about this?
ANSWER:
Continue to seek his guidance only when it comes to matters that don’t contradict your very nature, so that you can be able to gain his Torah perspective on things, but you don’t necessarily have to carry out his advice practically.
