Does tovelling, either for vessels or a person, require kavanah (intent) to achieve the purification?
Let's say someone went bathing in the river, or for whatever reason just fell in naked; for dishes, someone could have just dropped it.
The entire concept of tumah and taharah seems to be of a spiritual/mental nature, which is why it might seem that you need to intend to purify yourself/dishes. On the other hand, the end result either way is that it was dunked in the water.
