THE FEAR OF GOD IS HIS TREASURE

I heard on March 31, 1947

Fear refers to one’s fear of the great pleasure that exists
there, that one will not be able to receive it in order to bestow.
The reward for that, for having had fear, is that thus he had
made for himself a vessel in which to receive the Upper Bounty.
This is man’s work, and besides that, we attribute everything to
the Creator.
Yet, it is not so with fear, because the meaning of fear is to
not receive. And what the Creator gives, He gives only to receive,
and this is the meaning of, “everything is in the hands of God
except the fear of God.”

-Baal HaSulam, Shamati, page 125
