We're talking about sechel coming directly from it's source. That sechel, relative to that of ohr yashar, infinite.
Yet, in truth, that level also has a definition, though it is not readily evident.
Sechel creates a new view of reality and life. It is not something for figuring things out.
Sechel is what gives the world a truth existence.
The rav finds the talmid's question in his own essence and then finds a way to bring the talmid into where that essence becomes sechel.
When a woman comes and asks, “what is superior, a cat or a computer...” one cannot respond using sechel. The question comes from the dark and you have to appeal to the essential level to address it. The teacher has to access the essence to answer the question.
