-Most people experience nocturnal emissions (Kerie) due to the fact that they did not control their thoughts during the day.
-The impurity therefore entered the person and defies him when his defenses are down, during sleep.
- Sometimes even a holy person has a nocturnal emission.
- Since he guards his mind this Kerie could not have been a result of impure thoughts.
- This Kerie actually stems from hidden impurities that remained in this person. Since he did not know about them he was not able to rectify them.
- Now that these impurities came out in the form of Kerie a person can rectify this occurrence and thereby totally remove the impurity.
- Meaning, it is good it happened because by doing Teshuvah and rectifying the nocturnal emission one also rids himself of all the hidden impurities (Likutav Mahran 2-117)
