Sechel and the nefesh of man are a perfect union.
When we teach a child to eat in a proper way, it is not done in order that he should eat, but in order that he should get a sense of the fact that there is a proper way. It is not for an extraneous purpose – it is for its own sake.
Sechel is an atzmi/essence - “part and parcel of the nefesh – everything in the nefesh goes through sechel”.
Sechel sees that anything superimposed on a person is not sechel – he feels he is not living his real self. When he sees things according to his sechel, which is according to his nefesh, then he feels that he is really living.
