We are commanded [to follow all the laws outlined in the Torah] regarding one who watches an object for his fellow without compensation.

Daily Quote
The rationales of the mitzvot have not been revealed, for they are beyond reason and understanding. Also in those instances in which there has been revealed and explained a certain reason which is apparently comprehensible to us, this is not ... the ultimate reason, for within it is contained an inner, sublime wisdom that is beyond reason and understanding.
–Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi
