Kabbalah for Chagigah 5:3
והתם מנלן דכתיב (דברים לא, יב) למען ישמעו ולמען ילמדו ותניא למען ישמעו פרט למדבר ואינו שומע ולמען ילמדו פרט לשומע ואינו מדבר
And there, how do we know [that those who are mute or deaf are exempt from the assembly]? Because it is written,(Deuteronomy 31:12) "that they may hear and that they may learn." And it was taught in a Baraita: "That they may hear" - excluding he who speaks and does not hear; "and that they may learn" - excluding he who hears and does not speak. Is this to say, that he who cannot talk cannot learn?
Or Neerav
It occurs to those who succeed in this science, that when they search these treatises many times, their knowledge will increase. In a similar context we say, There is no investigation without new [knowledge resulting].
