QUESTION:
Since teshuvah during Shovavim involves immersing the mind in Torah, what about if a person just learns Torah without any intention for teshuvah and without awareness? Will his learning fix his sins if he’s not doing this from awareness to Shovavim and if he’s not consciously trying to do teshuvah?
ANSWER:
To the degree that one deeply immerses his thoughts in Torah, that is the root of the tikkun. Intention (of doing teshuvah) adds to the quality of this.
