כחוכא ואיטלולא
The Mishna Verurah(24:7)
writes in the name of the קדמונים
that by placing the ציצית
over the eyes when saying
Parshas ציצית one is
guaranteed not to become blind.
The Mishne Verura continues that
"a blind man may hold his ציצית in his hand even though it
says וראיתם אותו since others can see it.
However, the blind man should
not place the ציצית over
his eyes since it will seem כחוכא
ואיטלולא." [It looks weird and
laughable for a blind man
seeking protection of not
becoming blind.]
I was just wondering when some צדיקים do strange things during
their עבודה no one looks at it as weird.
On the contrary, it is
assumed they have deep Kabbalistic hidden כוונות.
So too why is it considered
weird & laughable when a blind man would place his ציצית over
his eyes and we don't assume it to have a deeper meaning?
Seems) that
this privilege is only applicable)
ווייזט
זיך אויס
to צדיקים. When they act
strangely during performing Mitzvohs we may not question it. We
must assume they are performing with hidden Kabbalistic כוונות.
For the המון עם (simple Yid)
they have to be careful not to
do strange actions while
performing Mitzvohs otherwise it
will be כחוכא ואיטלולא
