“A quotation-a-day by
Rabbi Avigdor Miller”
The
Yetzer Tov is not the counterpart of the Yetzer Hara. The latter is a force; whereas
the Yetzer Tov, which is never personified in the Scriptures and the Talmud, is
nothing other than the innate understanding which the Creator implanted in Man
when "He blew into his nostrils the Breath of Life" (Breshis 2:7),
i.e. the Soul, which endows Man with eternal life.
All men possess this intuition of right and wrong which is called Yetzer Tov. — Awake, My Glory

Chovos Halevavos has become the foundation
for Jews in their service of Hashem. Great Torah luminaries, e.g. Rabbi Yosef Karo, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the
Vilna Gaon and Rabbi Elimelech of
Lizhensk immersed themselves in the sefer and encouraged others to do
likewise. Simchas Hachaim
Publishing is publishing Chovos Halevavos with Rabbi
Avigdor Miller’s insights.
