What is meant to fill them is pure olive oil. The command to purify the mind from waste and impurity is a directive given to a person so that he can attain clarity in his ways and in his conduct. So how does one maintain the proper balance? When a guard is assigned to protect a certain object, there are clear rules for how to guard it correctly. If the guard takes the responsibility beyond his actual capacity, it can lead him into excessive paranoia, which in the end causes him to treat the normal, healthy form of guarding with contempt. In other words, over-guarding blurs the boundary of proper protection and ultimately leads to a breach in the guarding itself. From there, the path to a complete breakdown is quick and easy (as we sadly saw on Simchat Torah-October 7th). The same applies in spirituality. The mitzvot guide us in how to guard the mind from the intrusion of impurity and heretical thoughts. Of course, one can always add personal safeguards in serving HaShem - but one must be extremely careful of over-guarding. We can always examine ourselves and ask: does the added fence bring us more joy, or more tension and irritability? When, Heaven forbid, one falls into over-guarding—or, in the words of Rebbe Nachman, when the yetzer hara disguises itself as mitzvot—the descent into actual transgressions becomes very easy. Much of the spiritual attrition we see today stems from a deep desire to be close to HaShem and an unwillingness to tolerate any feeling of distance. Then, when a bit of distance is felt, the boundaries collapse entirely, to our great pain. But with awareness and faith—knowing that we are doing all we can through prayer, hisbodedus, and heartfelt supplication to fulfill the mitzvot according to His will, and in the way the true tzaddikim taught us—we will, with HaShem's help, be able to overcome everything. Shabbat Shalom. BRI PURIM TIDBITS "You shall erase the memory of Amalek from beneath the heavens - do not forget." The commandment to blot out Amalek is absolute, stated with the greatest clarity. What, then, does Amalek do to us? In the story of The Wise Man and the Simpleton, told by Rebbe Nachman, it is related how the Wise Man studied one profession after another, progressing through philosophy to medicine and other disciplines - until the entire world came to feel like a prison to him. When a person studies a trade, or even one of the so-called seven disciplines, such as mathematics and the like, as long as the learning is meant simply to know, to understand, and to draw practical conclusions in order to carry out what is required - there is no problem at all. All the trouble begins when the learning turns philosophical. We see this today when university researchers debate what the first number is—zero or one—and from there construct entire systems whose final result is absolute nothingness. This kind of inquiry leads a person to complete heresy, even within ordinary life itself. This is precisely what Amalek seeks: to separate the so-called "wise" from the people, so that they ultimately come to scorn them and exploit them for their own purposes—to display how "enlightened" and superior they are—yet they have no peace and never will, because such a path has no true existence. The world endures specifically through the simple people - those who do their best to uphold the world: to work, to earn a living, to bring children into the world, and to live lives of family and responsibility. The Wise Man did not marry - and today, tragically, this has become very common. That is the power of philosophy. But the power of temimut and peshitut—sincerity and simplicity—is stronger than all of it. A joyous Purim!
