Guard Your Eyes - One or Both Eyes? - R. Aharon Pessin - TorahAnytime.com

last praiseworthy just like the mikvah purifies those who are impure is like a mikvah to you brings like a mikvah he purifies what's the connection Why are you comparing to a body of water? What is he a pool? Is he a well? Is he an ocean? From all the things in the world you wanted to compare to, you're comparing him to a body of water. So I think we spoke about this in previous years. And there's I think 5,472 different. But now we're going with number 5,473. What happens before a person goes to the mikvah? He wants to dip. You close your eyes. You close your mouth, you go down, you come out, and you're pure. Says, "If you're willing to do the same thing for me, I'll purify you just like the mikvah does." If you're willing to close your eyes and not to look at what you're not supposed to, if you're willing to close your mouth and not say what you're not supposed to. to just like you go into the mv and over there you're willing to close your eyes you close your mouth do the same in my type of a mikvah and I'll purify you just make sure watch your eyes watch your mouth will be the biggest mikvah you ever saw I but if it's very difficult to close the eyes ah it's very every single time a person is able to conquer that every single time. And now comes a big kish. Even if he is successful with one of his two wives, that's already a big achievement. Who told me? You've captivated my HEART WITH ONE OF YOUR EYES. EVEN IF YOU'RE ONLY ABLE TO CONQUER ONE EYE, hopefully with time you'll be able to conquer both. What one eye? I love it because you're making the effort. And in this time when we're talking about chuva is the beginning of the cha process and that's the he said in we don't call too often from I don't know why the says normally we understand the to mean when everybody will come back and gathering says has read it a little differently. You want to do chuva. The first thing you should do, watch your eyes. Who says that? The first step in the cha process. So, we're all convinced. Great. That's from now moving forward. But what about the past? How do we rectify? If one did misuse his eyes, how can one rectify that? says the seph when you look inside the sephyra it rectifies other types of looking where else weren't supposed to be looking but he says before that chuva regret in order to be able to look into the because he says if a slave upsets his uh his master can't look him straight in the face before you try to appease him it'll First appease the master and then you can look him regret and then you look straight at the and that fixes the past where maybe we misuse our eyes.
