Description

P. 40 in the commentary (9th perek). The yetzer hara (evil inclination) will eventually be sweetened, meaning transformed into tov (good). The goal is to show the nefesh behamis (animal soul) how much pleasure it can have in avodas Hashem. To live the life of a Jew is the greatest taanug (pleasure) in the world. There should not be a division between one's spiritual life and one's physical life. Everything is Elokus (Godliness). There could be such a Yiddishkeit where your whole life is Elokus, not fun interrupted by Elokus. The nefesh behamis wants a Jew to have a life without Hashem, but even deeper down, it wants us to conquer it.
