“Let your garments always be white, and let your head never lack oil.”
~ Kohelet 9:8

Imagine wearing pure white, expensive silk garments, and balancing a full jug of oil on your head.  One careless moment — one slip of focus — and the oil spills, staining everything.

So too is Yiras Chet — fear of sin. You cannot let your guard down, not even for a moment.
Because in just a moment’s lapse… everything can be stained.
