[Likutei Moharan 128:1:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/128:1:1)

אִיתָא בַּגְּמָרָא (יומא סט:) לְעִנְיַן הַיֵּצֶר הָרָע דַּעֲבֵרָה, דְּהַיְנוּ שֶׁל תַּאֲוַת הַמִּשְׁגָּל: כַּחְלִינְהוּ לְעֵינֵה וּשְׁבָקוּהוּ. נִמְצָא, שֶׁאַף־עַל־פִּי שֶׁסִּמּוּ אֶת עֵינֵי הַיֵּצֶר הָרָע שֶׁל נִאוּף, אַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן נִשְׁאָר.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
The Talmud states regarding the evil inclination of sin, i.e., of sexual desire: They blinded its eyes and let it go (Yoma 69b). We see therefore that even though the eyes of the evil inclination of immorality have been blinded, it remains.

[Likutei Moharan 128:1:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/128:1:2)

וְזֶה בְּחִינַת מַה שֶּׁנִּמְצָא לִפְעָמִים בָּאֲנָשִׁים הַכְּשֵׁרִים קְצָת, שֶׁמֵּחֲמַת שֶׁנּוֹגֵעַ יִרְאַת הַשֵּׁם בְּלִבּוֹ, הוּא מַשְׁפִּיל עֵינָיו וְאֵינוֹ מִסְתַּכֵּל בְּנָשִׁים, וְאַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן הוּא גּוֹנֵב אֶת הָעַיִן כִּלְאַחַר יָד, וּמִסְתַּכֵּל מִן הַצַּד.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This corresponds to that which occasionally happens to people who are somewhat virtuous. Because the fear of God has touched his heart, a person lowers his eyes and does not stare at women. Nevertheless, he sneaks a peek and takes a sidelong glance.

[Likutei Moharan 128:1:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/128:1:3)

וְהוּא בְּחִינַת: כַּחְלִינְהוּ לְעֵינֵהּ דְּיִצְרָא – שֶׁמְּסַמֵּא עֵינֵי הַיֵּצֶר הָרָע; שֶׁרוֹצֶה לְהִסְתַּכֵּל, וְהוּא מְסַמֵּא עֵינָיו עַל־יְדֵי שֶׁמּוֹנֵעַ עַצְמוֹ מִלְּהִסְתַּכֵּל, וְאַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן נִשְׁאָר הַיֵּצֶר הָרָע, כִּי מִסְתַּכֵּל מִן הַצַּד כִּלְאַחַר יָד:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This is the meaning of “blinded its eyes,” of the inclination: he blinds the eyes of the evil inclination which wants to stare. He blinds its eyes by preventing himself from staring. Nevertheless, the evil inclination remains, because he surreptitiously takes a sidelong glance.
