PURIFYING THE MIND [#18920]

June 20, 2022

QUESTION:

I’ve tried learning Mishnayos (Seder Nezikin) for 2 years already but I still don’t feel that my mind is becoming more purified from dirty thoughts. Should I continue to learn Mishnayos? Should I switch to Kodshim or Taharos? And if not, is there any alternative approach I can take, to purify my mind and Bris Kodesh?

ANSWER:

Try 1 more year learning Seder Taharos. If that doesn’t help, then the fundamental path is to immerse your mind deeply in in-depth Torah study.
