QUESTION:
1) Whenever there is a machlokes (difference of views) between the Gemara and the Midrashim, do we need to come up with an approach of how there’s not really a machlokes?
ANSWER:
First understand the machlokes clearly, and then see how both views are correct (“their words and their words are the words of the living G-d”).
QUESTION
2) What does it mean that “Their words and their words are the words of the living G-d”, that both views in every argument of our Sages is always correct – does it mean that even though they argue, they are both right and both views are true, or does it mean that there’s really no argument because we can always unify all the views together and see how it is not really an argument (for example, we can say that one sage is coming from a lower view while another sage is coming from a higher view, or that each of them are coming from the view of different Sefiros/Partzufin)?
ANSWER
Below on this world, we need to believe that all the views of the Sages are truth. But we also need to go above and see a higher perspective, in which we unify all the views together. In that higher view, machlokes is not a divisive argument, but a chalukah, a share, where each sage is stating his view based on his personal portion and according to his personal root.
