"I heard from the son of the Maggid, the Malach Reb Avraham, that Kaiser Fredrich used a new tactic, that instead of charging the enemy, they would run away, circle back and surround them, so that they must surrender.
Sometimes, a person can be overwhelmed and ecstatic about Hashem and fight the yetzer straight on. By meditating on the love and of Hashem, we can fight against and defeat the yetzer Hara. But this is something which is higher amount of accomplishment. The rest of us who cannot defeat our Yetzros Hara, we need a new strategy. The strategy, is to circumvent the yetze hara by meditating on secrets of torah, the inner light of mitzvos, and memaileh, surround him, such that he has to give up."
R Hillel says that this is the idea behind Pesach Sheni, that there is still Chametz in the house with you. The Chametz, the yetzer Hara is still with us. But we have matzah! Chochma,Bina and Daas! Pesach Sheni, our second chance, gives us an alternate way to serve Hashem and fight the Yetzer with a different strategy.
Out flank the Yetzer Hara!
