Regarding the greatness of the author: Refer to a question sent to the author by Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin [ Shu”t Chut HaMeshulash , question 10]. Serious question on issues of spiritual purity and impurity. This was just after his teacher, the Gr”a’s passing, and Rabbi Chaim writes to the author, that now, after the Gr”as’ passing, there is no one left to whom to ask hard and serious questions, except for this author!
