Besides simplicity and purity, you should understand that there is no need to search for specially strict
practices to take upon yourself. To think that you should is an illusion: it is simply one of the devices
of the Evil One to deter you from serving God. Such practices are not part of serving God. As our
Sages said: `The Torah was not given to the ministering angels' (Kiddushin 54a). It was given to
men of flesh and blood. These exaggerated practices can put you off completely. The greatest
wisdom of all is not to be wise at all. It is simply to be pure and straightforward.
