will surely achieve its intended goal, whereas the incitement of the good inclination over the evil inclination (Judges) may not succeed every time, as is apparent from the continuation of the Rabbis statement when they say that a person should always (Initially) incite his good inclination over his evil inclination, and if that succeeds then well and good, but if it does not succeed then ...a person should bring to mind the day of his death.”
Nevertheless, the order of one’s Avodah needs to be that, first he must incite his good inclination over his evil inclination (‘Judges) and only thereafter if that does not achieve its intended goal, does he need to carry out the Avodah of reminding oneself of the day of death (‘Officers).
Goal: To win over the evil inclination.
Every time: There is no certainty that by inciting his good inclination over his evil inclination that he will win every time, even if he has gone all out to war with his Yezter Hora, he doesn’t win all the time.
Death: In other words, by the very fact that our Rabbis have stated to try it this way at first and if it works great but if it does not work then try something else, means that they don’t expect it to succeed every time.
Order: The Right hand which is the stronger hand and traditionally always the first to encourage as the Talmud states in Sotah (47a) It should always be the left, weaker, hand that pushes another away but the right, stronger, hand should draw him near. One of our tasks in this world is to sweeten the Divine Gevuros with Divine Chessed. i.e. the regular order.
