The Eitza For Spiritual Bacteria

 Why do wisdom teeth decay so easily? 

Since they are at the back of the mouth, when you brush it is hard to get to them. So the bacteria buillldssss up and has a HUUUUUGE party inviting all of the "chevre" to join. 

That is the story of our neshamos. They are deep and hard to get to. We are very connected to the feelings of our concrete, physical bodies but our souls are much more difficult to access. If we don't pay careful attention to what is going on in there, then all of the "spiritual bacteria" builds up. קנאה ,שנאה, תאוה, כבוד and many other מרעין בישין - terrible spiritual ailments. 

The ONLY eitza to to spend time introspecting and learning mussar and/or chassidus.
