Description

Expanding and deepening ideas within ourselves crushes the yetzer hara (evil inclination) within us. The yetzer hara wants to destroy us in both this world and the next. Imagining the day of death is a technique for strengthening fear of punishment. The certainty of death is the most powerful tool to break the yetzer hara's illusions. Avoiding thinking about death causes terrible depression in the world. Death encourages purpose and motivation to act in the world.
