עִקַּר הַנִּסָּיוֹן שֶׁל כָּל אָדָם בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה הוּא בְּתַאֲוָה הַזֹּאת שֶׁל נִאוּף.
Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973
Man’s main test in this world involves sexual temptation.
וַאֲפִלּוּ תַּאֲוַת מָמוֹן אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהִיא תַּאֲוָה גְּרוּעָה מְאֹד וְכוּ' וְכוּ' וְהִיא עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה מַמָּשׁ, אַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן עִקַּר הַנִּסָּיוֹן הוּא בַּתַּאֲוָה הַזֹּאת.
Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973
People may also be greatly tempted by money. This can degrade a person and is a form of idolatry. Still, it does not compare to sexual temptation, which is man’s main test.
