Intention of the body of the Mitzvah: By the person.
Category of Mekabel: Because the purpose is that the action shall be accompanied by the correct intention.
The intention of the Mitzvah: Which is the state of ‘Mashpia’ – influencer.
The performance of the Mitzvah: Which is a state of ‘Mekabel’ – recipient. Therefore, when a person performs a Mitzvah he causes a unity of the Maspia and the Mekabel.
Without intention: Without the person who is doing the Mitzvah having the correct intention at the time of the performance of the Mitzvah.
Because: Even if the person performing the Mitzvah does not have the correct intention in executing the Mitzvah, it generates the performance of the Mitzvah in addition to the actual performance of the Mitzvah itself.
This can be explained, as it has been explained elsewhere regarding the faculty of speech, that every utterance only comes out after first being in the thought process and even though it seems sometimes that someone might be speaking without thinking it through first, this is because that about which he is speaking was in his thought process at a previous time.
And so, similarly, it can also be said regarding the faculty for one’s actions that even though there is this concept of acting without thinking, this affects Halochoh, as there are some actions which require one’s intention when performing those Mitzvos and if this intention was lacking then the action has not been performed.
Nevertheless, it must be said that anything that comes out in an action must have first come through the thought process. And even if there was no thought process at the time when this action was executed then it must be said that there was a thought process in the past.
However, regarding ‘Halochoh’ this thought process does not count as it did not coincide with the action and therefore the action does not count if it is in a situation in which the thought process is detrimental. And even if it is not detrimental it is still not the ideal way to perform a Mitzvah as has been explained elsewhere. (Here is not the place to extend this subject.) But from all of the above it is understood, that in performing any Mitzvah there is a union of ‘Mashpia’ and ‘Mekabel’.
