FAITH IN THE RAV, WHAT IS THE MEASURE
I heard in 1943

And it might be to the contrary, that now one feels that one
is in a state of elation, when in fact one is now controlled by
receiving for self, called “a descent.”
Only one who is already in single authority can discern and
know the truth. Hence, one must trust the opinion of one’s Rav
and believe what his Rav tells him. It means that one should go
as his Rav told him to do.
And although one sees many arguments, and sees many
teachings that do not go hand in hand with the opinion of his
Rav, one should nevertheless trust the opinion of one’s Rav and
say that what he understands and what he sees in other books
that do not cohere with his Rav’s opinion, one should say that as
long as he is in multiple authorities, he cannot understand the
truth. One cannot see what is written in other books, the truth
that they say.
