Q: What does it mean to feel “inner necessity?”

A: Inner necessity is when you have a question about the meaning of life and you cannot find the answer to it. In the introduction to the most complex and important book in Kabbalah, “Talmud Eser Sefirot” (The Study of the Ten Sefirot), the author, Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag, writes for whom this book is intended. It is anyone who is troubled by the question: “What is the meaning of my life?” It is meant precisely for those who wish to know the meaning of the suffering they experience; those who try to understand why things go wrong in their lives.
