\u201cThus would the clean-minded in Jerusalem do: They would not come into a meal unless they knew who was dining with them\u201d (Sanhedrin 23a).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cClean-minded\u201d means people who are cleansed from reason, as our sages said, \u201cSo and so was cleansed of his possessions.\u201d This means that they are people who go above reason, which in plural form [in Hebrew], it is called \u201cclean-minded.\u201d These people should be careful not to come in contact with people who can only work within reason, since the view of landlords is opposite from the view of Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe view of landlords\u201d means within reason, when one understands what he is doing and always thinks whether it is worth his while to do or not to do, meaning what benefit the act he is doing will yield for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conversely, \u201cthe view of Torah\u201d is as our sages said, \u201cThe Torah exists only in one who puts himself to death over it\u201d (Berachot<\/em> 63b). This means that he should annul his self, meaning annul all of his existence. Thus, there is no reason here with which to think what observing Torah and Mitzvot<\/em> will give him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A landlord always thinks about property. Hence, with everything he does, he thinks what this can add to his property. But the path of Torah is annulment of property. Thus, those who study Torah and go within reason, meaning with the view of landlords, have a different way than the students of Torah who are going above reason, which is called \u201cclean-minded,\u201d for they are cleaned from reason because they want the cancellation of reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, which view can be said that obligates him to completely annul himself? This discernment is called \u201cnot in order to receive reward.\u201d Therefore, they need great care so they will not be taken after the students of Torah who are going within reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" June 1, 1973 \u201cThus would the clean-minded in Jerusalem do: They would not come into a meal unless they knew […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6246,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[26],"class_list":["post-11683","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
