신명기 30:1의 Chasidut

Even the sinner has an inner point—his yechidah—that is perfectly righteous. Teshuvah is when he returns to this inner essence and allows it to influence the rest of his personality. Perhaps this is the meaning of the verse, Ve-hasheivosa el levavecha (Deut. 30:1), which is literally translated, “Take it to heart,” but it may also mean, “Return to your heart.”²²⁷See further Noam Elimelech, Parashas Vaeschanan, s.v. hishamer lecha, who writes, “A person should constantly consider his Heavenly soul... for if he does not know himself he will definitely not know the Almighty.”
