QUESTION:
The Rav was asked [Q&A 13376 – Guidance In Finding A Rebbi] if it’s true that people with a soul-root in Yehudah are more independent and they don’t need a Rebbi (Torah teacher) to guide them, whereas those with a soul-root in Yosef always need to be guided by a Rebbi. The Rav confirmed that this is true
What does it mean that those with a soul-root in Yehudah don’t need a Rebbi? What is a Gadol tells such a person that he must do differently than what he thinks? Are those souls rooted in Yehudah able to be clearer without needing a Rebbi, whereas those with a soul-root in Yosef are lacking in clarity and therefore they need a Rebbi? And does a person with a soul root in Yehudah also require a Rebbi sometimes?

ANSWER:
Let me clarify: Every person needs a Rebbi (Torah guide).
It is just that if one has a soul-root in Yehudah, at first he will need a rebbi constantly, but later when he matures, he can become more independent. Even then, he will still need a rebbi from time to time. But a person with a soul-root in Yosef will also need a rebbi close by him.
