Many months ago, when we started this series, we talked about the concept that when one does a mitzvah, he is supposed to have the proper intention. For example, when you put on tefilin in the morning, or Sisit, or perform any positive commandment, such as listening to the shofar, sitting in a succah or listening to the megila, you need to give kavana that your doing the mitzvah for the sake of God. The question of whether the same applies to Mitzvah between man and his fellow is discussed. Is it just enough to be nice? Can we just do it or do we also have to have in mind that we are fulfilling a positive commandment? I recently saw two nice stories that show how certain Gedolim were very careful in this area. The Chafetz Chaim’s son in law said that he was once traveling with the Chafetz Chaim by coach, and when the Chafetz Chaim took out his money to pay the driver, he said, “ I hereby have in mind to fulfill the mitzvah of giving a worker his money on the same day as he worked .“ He didn’t just do it. The Kaf Hachaim says that when you get a haircut, it’s an opportunity to pay the barber when he does his job. Even though it may seem like a simple, mundane act, with the proper kavana, you can uplift it. In another story, the Skulener Rebbe, who was a great Sadik, was once seen entering a rest room, and then exiting. He then walked back in, and came out again. The people were curious about what the Rebbe was doing, and asked him about it. He explained that he had seen a light on in the bathroom, so he went to check if anyone was inside. Since no one was there, he thought that was a waste of money (it wasn’t his house). And anytime you can save somebody money, it is a Mitzvah of Hashevat Aveda/Returning a lost object . A person’s money should not go to waste. If a person has a leaky hose, or a light is on in their car, when you tell the person, it is Hashevat Aveda . So he saw the light was on, but he could not fulfill the mitzvah properly once he was in the bathroom, so he left the bathroom, and washed his hands. He then said, “I am now fulfilling the mitzvah of Hashevat Aveda . Then he went back into the bathroom and turn the light off. This is great people. Not only was he going to have kavana, but he was performing a mitzvah, and had to make a statement of leshem yichud, which the Kabbalists say before they do a mitzvah. And he made sure that he washed his hands beforehand. That is how seriously a Gadol takes a seemingly mundane activity between man and his fellow. Activities between man and his fellow are just as important. Just as people leshem yichud before they count sefira or do other Mitzvot, this Rebbe said it before he turned off the light in somebody’s bathroom, to make sure they weren’t wasting electricity. These are great levels. Have a wonderful day.
