Chitzon (External/Superficial Person): Difference between revisions

Line 15:

In holy talks it is brought that the Chitzon is not a liar, but mistaken, since they don't know they have a problem.

The Rebbe Rashab says: The way to fall into this is when one does not pay attention to details, for example: when learning without depth, but getting used to passing over the learning superficially, similarly in divine service it causes the person to relate to it superficially. Therefore, to escape this one needs to get accustomed specifically to learning with depth.

Although generally Chassidim were averse to externality, the Rebbe noted that in our generation there are things where specifically investing in their external beauty and the like influences the overall attitude toward them and even to the most essential and internal matters.
