QUESTION:
When learning b’iyun (in-depth), how can a person be saved from the natural feelings of conceitedness, learning in order to prove the other wrong, the feelings of competition, anger and impatience, and forgetting Hashem while learning (all of these problems I find are very common when I learn with in-depth analysis and when I’m trying to sharpen the mind).
ANSWER:
Stay connected to the essence of the words of the Torah you are learning, and don’t let your mind veer from the actual words of Torah you are learning.
