Pathways to the Heart

From the Words of HaRav Yoram Abargel zt”l

Esav the wicked presented himself as a “tzaddik,” engaging his father in intricate Torah discussion and deceiving him, while secretly committing the basest acts.

The yetzer hara works in the same way: it not only tempts a person to sin, but even presents the sin as a great mitzvah.

(Imrei Noam, Bereishit, p. 234)
