A good angel is called “right,” by which one comes closer to serving the Creator. This is called “the right brings closer.” And the bad angel is considered “left,” pushing away. This means that it brings him foreign thoughts, whether in mind or heart (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 107, “Concerning the Two Angels”).

The work of both angels on us, the good and the evil, means using both angels to move toward a goal. To work correctly with two forces, you must try to imagine yourself in the middle, then find the middle line, and move forward between the right and left lines.

Question: How can we increase the influence of the good angel on us?

Answer: Only through prayer. To make prayer a constant work that covers all conditions and precedes our good actions, we must direct ourselves straight to the Creator.
