Hebrew translation:

194. אוֹי לְאוֹתוֹ הַיּוֹם! הַיּוֹם שֶׁל רֹגֶז וּנְאָצָה אוֹתוֹ הַיּוֹם. מִשּׁוּם כָּךְ צָרִיךְ לָאָדָם לְהַרְגִּיז אֶת יִצְרוֹ כָּל יוֹם, לְהַזְכִּיר לְפָנָיו אוֹתוֹ יוֹם שֶׁיַּעֲמֹד בְּדִין הַמֶּלֶךְ, שֶׁמַּכְנִיסִים אוֹתוֹ תַּחַת הָאָרֶץ לְהֵרָקֵב, וְהַנְּשָׁמָה נִפְרֶדֶת מִמֶּנּוּ.
195. וְשָׁנִינוּ, לְעוֹלָם יַרְגִּיז אָדָם יֵצֶר טוֹב עַל יֵצֶר הָרָע וְיִשְׁתַּדֵּל אַחֲרָיו. אִם הוֹלֵךְ מִמֶּנּוּ – יָפֶה, וְאִם לָאו – יִשְׁתַּדֵּל בַּתּוֹרָה, שֶׁהִנֵּה אֵין לְךָ דָּבָר לִשְׁבֹּר אֶת הַיֵּצֶר הָרָע אֶלָּא הַתּוֹרָה. אִם הוֹלֵךְ – מוּטָב, וְאִם לֹא – יַזְכִּיר לוֹ אֶת יוֹם הַמָּוֶת, כְּדֵי לִשְׁבֹּר אוֹתוֹ.
196. כָּאן יֵשׁ לְהִסְתַּכֵּל, שֶׁהֲרֵי זֶה הוּא יֵצֶר הָרָע, וְזֶה הוּא מַלְאַךְ הַמָּוֶת, וְכִי מַלְאַךְ הַמָּוֶת נִשְׁבָּר לִפְנֵי יוֹם הַמָּוֶת, וַהֲרֵי הוּא הַהֶרֶג שֶׁל בְּנֵי הָאָדָם, וְנִשְׁמָע שֶׁזּוֹ שִׂמְחָה שֶׁלּוֹ, וּמִשּׁוּם כָּךְ מַסְטֶה אֶת בְּנֵי הָאָדָם תָּמִיד כְּדֵי לְהַמְשִׁיכָם לָזֶה?.

Zohar Miketz
Continued from previous DZ
#194
Woe to that day, a day of anger and wrath is that day. Therefore, a person must stir their inclination every day and remind themselves of that day when they will stand in judgment before the Holy King. They will be brought beneath the earth to decay, and the soul will separate from the body.
Notes:
The anticipation of the judgment and the inevitability of death serve as a call for daily introspection and the rectification of one’s actions.

#195
We have learned that a person should always stir the good inclination against the evil inclination and strive to overcome it. If the evil inclination leaves them, it is good. And if not, they should engage in Torah study, for there is nothing that can break the evil inclination except the Torah. If the evil inclination departs, it is good. And if not, they should remind it of the day of death to subdue it.

Notes:
This Zohar teaching outlines a three-step approach to overcoming the evil inclination (יצר הרע). First, one should activate and empower their good inclination (יצר הטוב) to confront the evil inclination directly. If this is insufficient, engaging in Torah study is the most powerful tool to subdue the negative desires, as the sanctity and wisdom of the Torah counteract spiritual negativity. As a last measure, reflecting on the inevitability of death serves as a sobering reminder of life’s impermanence and the ultimate accountability before the Creator, effectively diminishing the power of the evil inclination.
“כָּךְ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא אָמַר לָהֶם לְיִשְׂרָאֵל: בָּנַי, בָּרָאתִי יֵצֶר הָרָע וּבָרָאתִי לוֹ תּוֹרָה תַּבְלִין” “The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to Israel: My children, I created an evil inclination, which is the wound, and I created Torah as its antidote.”

#196
Here, one must contemplate: this is the evil inclination and the Angel of Death. Could the Angel of Death be subdued by the day of death itself? After all, it is he who kills people, and it seems that his joy lies in bringing about death. This is why he constantly deceives people, leading them toward death.
