One member who had broken free from the "shmutz" wrote us something beautiful and true:
I need Kedusha to counteract Tumah. I need it regularly, and it will replace filthy thoughts with powerful desires to grow in a positive way. I know it works, I've experienced it and tasted the exhilarating sweetness and freedom that living "confined" to the guidelines of Torah truly represents. I've seen a lot of information on Jewish websites describing the struggle between the yetzer tov and the yetzer hora but they don't really describe a substitute for being filled with filth. If there's no water, it's hard to put out fire - even if you know it burns.
Make sure to learn Torah every day. Some ideas:
- There's nothing like a Daf Yomi Shiur. Gemara is "Sechel Hayashar - straight thinking" and when a person is thinking straight and G-dly, the Yetzer Hara can't get a grip on him.
- Infuse your soul with holiness and read a few minutes of Zohar once in a while. Even if you don't understand it, your soul will feel the holiness and it will cleanse you out. Zohar is known to be a special Segulah to save one from the grasp of the Yetzer Hara.
- For a little taste of the entire spectrum of the Torah, read each day's Chok Le'yisrael for a little Torah, Nevi'im, Kesuvim, Mishnayos, Talmud and Zohar. All together, it's the perfect potion to keep the Yetzer Hara far away!
