Hi,
"As the filth of a stain or grease on a precious garment destroys the status of the garment, so an external interest which is manifest as part of a spiritual pursuit entirely destroys, ruins and eliminates the value of its precious character."
(Rabbi Yehonatan Eliasberg, Darchah shel Torah 9)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

The imposed constraints of imagination
Hi,
"It is impossible for you to elevate your thoughts to a pure state without any physical picture or imagined image, because you demand that every thought in your head involve a physical picture or imagined image, because you are used to such thoughts… There is an examining agent in a person’s mind, checking and editing his thoughts. That which does not resemble and match the visible world is considered false, and this agent pursues it and eliminates it from his mind."
(R' Klonymus Kalman Schapiro, Bnei Machshavah Tovah, Emtza'ei v'Yesod haChevra 6)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
