The Quran is the word of God, and it is a book for studying, understanding, and acting in accordance with, in order for mankind to maintain a prosperous life. However, the comprehension and meaning of all of the ayats are not the same. Some verses are easy to comprehend, while others are difficult, and others yet extremely difficult and only elite individuals like the Prophet and the Masoomeen are able to take on such a responsibility. If people who live during the time of the Masoomeen (Peace be upon them) are educated, then each one of them can refer to the verses of the Holy Quran and be able benefit from some of the concepts in it, of course to the extent of their own knowledge. However for an exact and complete grasp and understanding of all of the verses, and their interpretations and introspective meanings, we must seek help from the Prophet and the Immaculate Masoomeen (Peace be upon them).
