Face to Face with the Enemy
We must understand that our egoism is created by the Creator and governed by Him. And on our part, we must wage war against our evil inclination, try to bring it out from under the power of the Creator, and not cease this war until we feel the possibility of victory.
The evil inclination acts directly against the Creator, trying to conceal Him from us. A person must imagine that he is constantly face to face with the enemy—his own evil inclination.
And even if he falls into egoism, he must try to rise out of it and then prevail over it. That is, in all the most difficult states that he goes through, he strives to recognize the true enemy.
All our advancement lies in the fact that we acquire more and more strength to rule over our evil inclination. Therefore, we must do everything possible for this victory, falling asleep and waking up with this thought.
We must try to identify this evil inclination, the force that prevents us from approaching and uniting with the Creator, and ask the Creator to help us overcome this enemy. This is the entire war.
