"The eyes of both of them were opened... and they
made for themselves loincloths." Rashi comments: wov ohnurhg hf ugshu uvn tkt
wourg tuvaf gsuh tnuxv ;t In truth, if a person knew the great pain and regret that he would feel after
doing a sin, he never would! If a person is tempted to sin, good advice is for
him to remember the great suffering and pangs of regret that occured the last
time he sinned. He should then picture in his mind the tremendous amount of pain
and anguish he will feel if he sins now. This will certainly prevent him from
sinning.
"Even a Blind knows when he has no clothes
on! What then does it mean 'They knew they were naked?' They had one command to
follow and they stripped themselves of it. wvbnhv ukyrg,bu oshc v,hv ,jt vumn"
It is known that Adam was on an extremely high spiritual level. He was so great
in wisdom and knowledge, that the ,rav hftkn
wanted to sing vrha in front of him. He was
able to discern the character of every living creature and give them names based
on these characteristics. However, once he sinned he went down from all his
greatness and lost his wisdom, as the gemara says: uyghnu uhkg ush v"cev

It is clear from all this, that even though Adam before he sinned was so great
in wisdom and knowledge, he still did not comprehend and grasp the great pain
and anguish that he would feel after the Sin and that he would be "ourg" from all commandments. It was only after he
sinned that he realized he was bereft of commandments. We see that even an
extremely wise person is unable to comprehend how great the pain that occurs
after he succumbs and does an evil act will be.
