("Ben Azzai Omer says: He who runs to a light commandment is as easy as a heavy one, and he who flees from a transgression, for a commandment leads to a transgression, and a transgression leads to a transgression, for he who has a commandment is a commandment and a transgression is a transgression" -Avos 4:2, and so: "Ben Azzai Omer says, He who runs to a light commandment is as easy as a heavy one...and the wise say, Far be it from a light commandment that it will lead you to a great one... "To commit a serious sin" - H. Baer/ To the Place Where the Spirit Goes, 180)
