In addition, we should be careful about learning the sefarim that get involved in questioning, even those that come from great talmidei chachamim. For example, the Rambam wrote sefarim that try to explain the reasons for the mitzvos and other aspects of the Jewish tradition. In these sefarim, he asks deep questions that touch on the foundations of our emunah, and sometimes, the answers he gives are disputable. However, the Rambam certainly didn’t intend for us to get stuck with these questions, G-d forbid. Rather, he wanted to give us an idea of how to think about the deeper meaning of life and avodas Hashem. (And in truth, the answers to these questions are in the Zohar HaKadosh and the revelations of Kabbalah, but these teachings were not available at the time of the Rambam, as we will discuss later on.)
In any case, Rebbe Nachman (and nearly all of the great tzaddikim of his time) clearly warned his chassidim and people of all future generations not to look at these sefarim at all. As we explained above, our emunah is being tested in new ways that the world has never seen before, so must stay very far away from any form of questioning, even if it comes from a great talmid chacham.
