[Likutei Moharan 154:1:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/154:1:1)

דַּע, כִּי יֵשׁ יִרְאוֹת נְפוּלוֹת, וְכָל הַיִּסּוּרִין וְהַדִּינִים שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָאָדָם, כֻּלָּם הֵם מֵהַיִּרְאוֹת הַנְּפוּלוֹת שֶׁנָּפְלוּ לְתוֹךְ זֶה הַדָּבָר שֶׁהוּא מִתְפַּחֵד וְיֵשׁ לוֹ יִסּוּרִין מִמֶּנּוּ.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Know! there are fallen fears. All the afflictions and stern judgments which a person experiences are entirely from the fallen fears. They have fallen into the thing of which he is terrified and by which he is afflicted.


###### Likutei Moharan 154:1:2
[Likutei Moharan 154:1:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/154:1:2)

וְהֵם בְּחִינַת (שבת עז:): חָמֵשׁ אֵימוֹת, אֵימַת חַלָּשׁ עַל הַגִּבּוֹר, שֶׁאַף שֶׁהוּא נֶגֶד הַטֶּבַע, שֶׁהַגִּבּוֹר יִפְחַד מֵהַחַלָּשׁ, אַךְ שֶׁהוּא מֵחֲמַת הַיִּרְאָה הָעֶלְיוֹנָה שֶׁנָּפְלָה וְנִתְלַבְּשָׁה בְּאֵלּוּ הַדְּבָרִים.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
These [fallen fears] correspond to “five dreads, the dread of the weak upon the mighty” (Shabbat 77b). Thus, although it is unnatural for the mighty to be afraid of the weak, it nevertheless happens because of the upper fear that has fallen and become enclothed in these things.


###### Likutei Moharan 154:1:3
[Likutei Moharan 154:1:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/154:1:3)

וְעַל כֵּן הֵם בְּמִסְפָּר חָמֵשׁ, כְּנֶגֶד חָמֵשׁ גְּבוּרוֹת, שֶׁהֵם חָמֵשׁ אוֹתִיוֹת מַנְצְפַ"ךְ כְּפוּלִים.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This is why they are five in number, paralleling the five severities, which are the five double-letters *MNTZPKh*.


###### Likutei Moharan 154:1:4
[Likutei Moharan 154:1:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/154:1:4)

וְצָרִיךְ לְהַעֲלוֹת הַיִּרְאוֹת הַנְּפוּלוֹת, לְשָׁרְשָׁם לִמְקוֹמָם. וּמְקוֹם הַיִּרְאָה הִיא בַּלֵּב, כְּמוֹ שֶׁפֵּרֵשׁ רַשִׁ"י: דָּבָר הַמָּסוּר לְלִבּוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם נֶאֱמַר בּוֹ וְיָרֵאתָ (קדושים יט).

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Now, one must elevate the fallen fears to their root, their place. And the place of fear is in the heart. As Rashi explains: Of that which is given over to the heart of man, it is said, “you shall fear” (Leviticus 19:14).


###### Likutei Moharan 154:1:5
[Likutei Moharan 154:1:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/154:1:5)

וְהַיִּרְאָה צְרִיכָה לִהְיוֹת עִם דַּעַת, כִּי בְּלֹא דַּעַת נֶאֱמַר (איוב ד׳:ו׳): הֲלֹא יִרְאָתְךָ כִּסְלָתֶךָ. וְהַדַּעַת צָרִיךְ לִהְיוֹת בַּלֵּב, כִּי גַּם עַכּוּ"ם יֵשׁ לוֹ דַּעַת, אַךְ הוּא בְּלֹא לֵב. אַךְ עִקַּר הַדַּעַת – כְּשֶׁהוּא בַּלֵּב, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (דברים ד׳:ל״ט): וְיָדַעְתָּ הַיּוֹם וַהֲשֵׁבוֹתָ אֶל לְבָבֶךָ; כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שם כט): וְלֹא נָתַן לָכֶם לֵב לָדַעַת – דַּיְקָא.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
And the fear must be accompanied by *daat* (holy knowledge). For [of fear] without *daat,* it is said (Job 4:6), “Surely, your fear is your foolishness.” And the *daat* has to be in the heart. This is because a gentile also has *daat,* but it is without heart. However, the essential holy knowledge is when it is in the heart, as it is written (Deuteronomy 4:39), “Know it today and ponder it in your heart.” As in (ibid. 29:3), “He did not give you a heart to know”—precisely.


###### Likutei Moharan 154:1:6
[Likutei Moharan 154:1:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/154:1:6)

וּכְשֶׁמְּחַבֵּר הַדַּעַת שֶׁבַּלֵּב, עִם הַיִּרְאָה שֶׁשָּׁרְשָׁהּ וּמְקוֹמָהּ בַּלֵּב, אֲזַי נֶאֱמַר (משלי ב׳:ה׳): אָז תָּבִין יִרְאַת ה' וְדַעַת אֱלֹקִים תִּמְצָא.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
But when he combines the *daat* in the heart with fear, whose root and place is in the heart, then it says (Proverbs 2:5), “Then you will understand the fear of God, and the knowledge of the Lord will you find.”


###### Likutei Moharan 154:1:7
[Likutei Moharan 154:1:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/154:1:7)

וְהִנֵּה כְּתִיב (שם כט): מֶלֶךְ בְּמִשְׁפָּט יַעֲמִיד אֶרֶץ; הַיְנוּ עַל־יְדֵי מִשְׁפָּט מַעֲמִיד וּמַעֲלֶה הַיִּרְאָה, שֶׁהִיא בְּחִינַת אֶרֶץ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (תהלים עו): אֶרֶץ יָרְאָה.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Behold also that it is written (ibid. 29:4), “Through judgment, the king will establish the land.” That is, by means of judgment he secures and elevates the fear, which corresponds to land, as it is written (Psalms 76:9), “the land feared.”


###### Likutei Moharan 154:1:8
[Likutei Moharan 154:1:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/154:1:8)

וּמִשְׁפָּט הוּא מַה שֶּׁהָאָדָם שׁוֹפֵט וְדָן עַצְמוֹ עַל כָּל דָּבָר וְדָבָר שֶׁעוֹשֶׂה, טֶרֶם שֶׁיָּדִינוּ אוֹתוֹ לְמַעְלָה. וְעַל־יְדֵי מַה שֶּׁהוּא בְּעַצְמוֹ שׁוֹפֵט אֶת עַצְמוֹ נִצּוֹל מִדִּין שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה, כִּי כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ דִּין לְמַטָּה אֵין דִּין לְמַעְלָה (מ"ר שופטים פ"ה).

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Judgment is when a person evaluates and judges himself on each and every thing that he does, before they judge him Above. By virtue of his judging himself, he is spared from stern judgment Above. For when there is judgment below, there is no judgment Above (Devarim Rabbah 5:4).


###### Likutei Moharan 154:1:9
[Likutei Moharan 154:1:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/154:1:9)

וְכֵיוָן שֶׁאֵין עָלָיו דִּין אֵין צְרִיכָה הַיִּרְאָה לִפֹּל וּלְהִתְלַבֵּשׁ לְמַטָּה, וְאֵין צָרִיךְ לִירֹא מִשּׁוּם דָּבָר, וְאֵין לוֹ רַק יִרְאָה הָעֶלְיוֹנָה, יִרְאַת הָרוֹמְמוּת: (עַיֵּן כָּל זֶה לְעֵיל בְּהַתּוֹרָה "מִי שֶׁרוֹצֶה לִטְעֹם טַעַם אוֹר הַגָּנוּז" בְּסִימָן טו, שָׁם מְבֹאָר כָּל זֶה בַּאֲרִיכוּת.)

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Now, since there is no stern judgment on him, the fear has no need to fall and become enclothed below. And so he has no need to be afraid of anything. He has only upper fear, fear of His exaltedness. {All this has been explained at length in Lesson #15, “The Person who Wants to Experience a Taste of the Hidden Light.” Study there.}
