To Jill:
Here are two basic criteria which I use:

a. Is the thing which I want to do a good action mandated (or allowed) according to Torah?
b. Is there something else which I really should be doing right now? There are some things which are very good, but not appropriate for the moment. For example, going to synagogue is a good thing. However, if there is a terminally ill person who needs my help, the urge to go to shul is actually coming from my animal soul.

lev
B"H
I am not sure but I believe that the analogy of the heart will work in that the only way the heart can function is if each chamber (ventricle) will do its proper function and beat in cooperation with the entire unit. The right ventricle sends the blood "life" to the lungs to be puriied and filled with life giving oxygen.If the left side will "assert itslf" and attempt to dominate, there will be a totally ineffective arrythmia. Since cooperation is a function only of the G-dly soul, it must control the "beating " of the heart and assure that all parts will cooperate. Only when the "animal ", the left side is subordinated will anything be accomplished. Also, for the benoni, it is necessary to have the 'left" side because without it, the purified vitality can not go out into the body and enable it to live.

Do you have any concrete suggestions for evaluating whether your motivation is coming from your G-dly soul or your animal soul?
