Letter 333

The essential teshuvah for all the sins — is humility and lowliness. To return from greatness and to humble oneself. To place oneself as the trodden earth. And to feel one's lowliness and one's distance from Hashem Yisburach. And to break one's heart before Hashem Yisburach. Through which Hashem Yisburach forgives him. As it is written: "A broken and crushed heart — G-d You will not despise" [Psalms 51:19]. For through humility and lowliness — and making oneself as nothing and as null — through this all the judgments are nullified. Which are the aspect of sins.
