“Let me explain something to you. There is a concept of
daas Torah. What is daas Torah? It is a sort of ruach hakodesh
that exists today. When a person sits and learns, when he
immerses himself completely in Torah, then when he is asked a
question, he isn’t the one answering it – it’s the Torah within
him that’s answering. Today I’m old and constantly falling asleep
over the Gemara. I’m not immersed in learning all the time.
But your father [Rav Chaim Kanievsky] is constantly immersed in
the Torah. When he answers your question, it will be the Torah
answering you. It’s like ruach hakodesh.” – The Steipler,
as quoted by R’ Avraham Yeshaya Kanievsky,
as transcribed and translated by Mishpacha staff
(If I had to guess, “immersed” was originally “areingetun.”)
