Every nation in this world has an angel representing them in the
other world. The nation of Amalek also has an angel representing them, their
angel is the Yetzer Hara (Evil Inclination). Every single person also has a piece of the Yetzer
hara in them. We all have that inclination in us that makes us do bad.
Therefore every time we overcome our Yetzer Hara we destroy Amalek. By
subjugating Amalek we preform the Miztvah of destroying him.
The great Tzefat Emet says that the key to serving G-d is not to make
it a burden, it shouldn't be heavy and it shouldn't way you down. Religion must
be preformed with simha (happiness), a comfortable exuberance. The Yetzer Hara's mission is
to make Judaism seem heavy on us. His goal is to make it seem weary on us and
not want to do it.
Isn't it odd how when it comes to going out we are never tired,
but as soon as someone mentions learning Torah for one hour we all become tired
or busy? In that situation he has accomplished his mission. Don't let him
succeed!
The Arizal says that the only reason he achieved his greatness
is because every Mitzvah he preformed, he preformed it with simha. So use this
opportunity of Purim and be happy! Do every Mitzvah b'simcha. Mishenichnas Adar
Marbim B’Simcha (when Adar arrives we increase our happiness, Taanit 29)!
Shabbat Shalom (Shabbat Zachor) & Purim SAMEAH!
