Very difficult topic. If the main thing is the dvar torah regardless of the author where do we draw the line? We may view Rav Kook as a true Gadol and many thousands do. But on the other hand many view him in a not so positive way ( to put it mildly). The same with the Rav (as his admirers called him)
So is it OK to learn Torah from anyone? Or is it better to stay away from his teachings because you might get influenced? Many Gedolim held the latter. So it boils down to what your Rebbe or Rosh Yeshiva holds. This is not something you should decide on your own.
