We Are What We Are About to Become « TheWritersCafe.org: " quick to point out, that there may well be some very specific mitzvot, (lets say the prohibition of shatnez, the mixture of wool and cotton in the same garment) that simply require someone to technically do the mitzvah properly without understanding the reasoning behind it.
I spend a good deal of thought and time explaining these details because even though I might hold myself to a standard which requires a mindfulness in doing the mitzvot, it may indeed be possible, and maybe even likely that there are those who in their observance will place a greater emphasis on the “how to” component of the performance of the mitzvah as opposed to the why one performs the mitzvah and as to the proper thought which one should have while performing the mitzvah.
