917. A Kept Matza [Passover bread]

A kept Matza means that we must keep ourselves in a place where we are going to observe the Mitzvot [commandments] of the Creator so there will not be any fear of Hametz [leaven] there. In other words, the Mitzvot should lead a person toward the correction of creation, and if we do not know how to keep the Matza, we take what is of no significance and leave what is significant.
