Perhaps the most challenging aspect of selecting a Kosher set of the Four Minim is finding Hadassim that are "Meshulashim." This term refers to Hadassim whose three leaves emerge at the same level. There are many opinions regarding the precise parameters regarding Hadassim Meshulashim
Hadas Shoteh !!
Interestingly, the Gemara refers to a Hadas that is not Meshulash as a “Hadas Shoteh,” a psychotic Hadas. An explanation might be that a Hadas that is Meshulash is balanced whereas the Hadas that is not Meshulash is imbalanced.
A characteristic of a mentally healthy person is one who is balanced and one who is not mentally healthy is not balanced.
I love the anthropomorphic projection onto this beautiful myrtle DSM III categories of human mental pathology!
