QUESTION:
If a person was a masmid, he was learning diligently and he also had a good memory of what he learned, but later in life he viewed indecent images and because of this he can’t remember his learning that well - how can he improve his ability to remember his learning? He is careful today to guard his eyes, but his memory isn’t the same anymore ever since he viewed the indecent images.
ANSWER:
He should purify his eyes through crying. He should connect himself to the “ayin” (spelled with an aleph) which is above the level of the eyes (which are spelled as “ayin” with the letter ayin) – the spiritual plane which is the source of all wisdom.
Also, the Hebrew word for memory is zikaron, is from the word zochor, “male”. When a man views indecent images of a woman, he loses his “male” ability, the ability of memory. The repair for him is that he needs to become more of a giver (the trait of man) and less of a receiver (the trait of a woman).
