The Way to Acquire Cleanliness: Chapter Twelve

Acquiring Cleanliness is perpetual study of both the halachic and ethical pronouncements of our Sages of blessed memory. This is taken from chapter twelve.  For once the truth of man’s responsibility for Cleanliness and his need for it has impressed itself upon a person through his prior acquisition of Watchfulness and Zeal, (the result of his occupation with the means towards their attainment and the withdrawing of himself from the elements detracting from them) – once this truth has impressed itself upon a person, he will, with a knowledge of the fine points of the mitzvoth, be enabled to exercise Watchfulness in relation to all of them, so that no deterrents will prevent his attaining to Cleanliness.
