“The greater the man, the greater his evil inclination.” ~ Succah 52a
There are many different kinds of evil inclination. The common run people have a very low sort of evil inclination. Their desires are grossly materialistic. In fact, they are quite nonsensical. Anyone who has a clear head and can begin to form some slight conception of the true greatness of the Creator can see that such desires are mere foolishness and idiocy….His own evil inclination is on a far higher plane because his own level is higher. He has begun to acquire an understanding of truth. ~ R’ Nachman of Breslov zt”l
