The Ben Ish Chai compares the yetzer hara toa lame person who a horse rider has mercy on and he picks him up and allows him to sit in tne front of tne horse and to hold the reins. When they enter the town, the picked up person says to the horse’s owner, get off my horse. They go to the beis din and the dayan says to the owner, we know you are the owner of tne horse, but why did you allow him to sit in the front and let him hold the reins, so be careful not to let the yetzer hara be too confortable and take over.
