How is the struggle against the self combined with moderation in worship?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How does one combine the command to struggle against the self with the command to be moderate in worship and obedience?

Answer:
There is no contradiction. One struggles against the self in performing the obligatory acts of Allah, struggles against it in abandoning the prohibitions of Allah, and struggles against it in whatever worship is made easy, without making it difficult for oneself.
