The writing down of the oral Torah did not change its non-textual nature. We study the words of the Prophets and the Sages in order to try and reach their spiritual level, and possibly even higher. Our hope, and our goal, and our expectation, is to receive Chochma in our hearts, to be recipients of the Divine Light, to merit Gilui Panim. For this purpose we exist.
However, this wonderful thing has a widespread dark side. A curse came forth from writing down the oral Torah. The texts became deified, words became infallible in the eyes of the worshippers. Faking humility, Gasei Ruach submit, and try to impose on Yisrael, that our lowly generation cannot grasp, cannot fathom, the holy ancient words. We can only obey, follow, submit. Living in darkness, they claim there is no light.
Flee from the Darkness. Choose the Light!
