Sefer Hamidos - The Book of Traits

א. הַמּוֹרֶה הוֹרָאוֹת שֶׁהוּא נִכְנָע לִפְנֵי גְּדוֹלִים מִמֶּנּוּ, עַל-יְדֵי-זֶה הַקָּדוֹשׁ-בָּרוּךְ-הוּא שׁוֹמְרוֹ, שֶׁלֹּא יִכְּשֶׁל בִּדְבַר הוֹרָאָה.

Someone who rules legal (Jewish law) decisions and he is submissive to those greater than him, through this the Holy One Blessed He will guard him that he should not stumble in a matter of a legal decision.

ב. מָקוֹם הַהוֹרָאָה הִיא מוֹעֶלֶת לְיִרְאָה. ג. כְּשֶׁאֵרַע לָאָדָם טְרֵפָה בְּבֵיתוֹ עַל-יְדֵי תַּעֲרֹבֶת אִסּוּר בְּהֶתֵּר, וְאֵין בַּהֶתֵּר לְבַטֵּל אֶת הָאִסּוּר, זֶה מַרְאִין לוֹ, שֶׁפָּגַם בְּאֵיזֶהוּ יִחוּד וְזִוּוּג עֶלְיוֹן, כִּי הַיִּחוּד וְהַזִּוּוּג הוּא בְּחִינַת בִּטּוּל הָאִסּוּר בְּהֶתֵּר בִּבְחִינַת: "מוֹצִיא אֲסִירִים בַּכּוֹשָׁרוֹת".

A place of instruction is conducive to fear (of G-d). When food in a person's house becomes non-kosher through the mixing of the forbidden with the permitted, and there is not enough of the permitted to annul the forbidden, this (is a sign) he is being shown (from Above) that the person has caused a blemish in some supernal unification and conjugation. For the unification and conjugation is the aspect of the forbidden being annulled in the permitted, the aspect of (Psalms 68:7) "[G-d returns individuals home (-this is understood as getting them married- an aspect of union- Likutay Moharan Vol. 2 Torah 29)] He frees those imprisoned (asirim-forbidden) in auspicious times (kosherot - permitted)."

ד. כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ שְׁלוֹם-מַלְכוּת, עַל-יְדֵי-זֶה נוֹלָדִים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל בָּנִים בַּעֲלֵי הָוֹרָאָה. ה. מִי שֶׁמַּחְמִיר לַאֲחֵרִים וּמֵקֵל לְעַצְמוֹ וְאוֹמֵר עַל מַה שֶּׁלֹּא שָׁמַע שֶׁשָּׁמַע, עַל-יְדֵי-זֶה אֵינוֹ זוֹכֶה לִרְאוֹת בִּיפִי הַמֶּלֶךְ, כִּי הַקְּלִפָּה שֶׁל אֱדוֹם שֶׁהוּא יִרְאָה רָעָה, מַחְשִׁיךְ מְאוֹר עֵינָיו מִלְּהִסְתַּכֵּל בִּיפִי פְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ.

When there is peace with the government, through this there is born in Israel (the Jewish people) children who (develop into) instructors (of the halacha). One who is strict with others and lenient with himself, and claims he heard things he did not hear, through this he does not merit to see the beauty of the King. For the klipa (evil force) of Edom, which is bad fear, darkens the light of his eyes so that he cannot gaze upon the beauty of the countenance of the King.

ו. עַל-יְדֵי נִאוּף נוֹפֵל לִתְפִיסָה אוֹ לָחֳלִי כְּאֵב רַגְלַיִם. גַּם תַּלְמִיד שֶׁלֹּא הִגִּיעַ לְהוֹרָאָה וּמוֹרֶה נוֹפֵל לָזֶה. גַּם מַזִּיקִין שׁוֹלְטִין עָלָיו.

Through promiscuity, one falls into captivity, or sickness of pain in his feet. Also a student who has not reached the level of giving (legal-halacha) instruction and instructs, falls to this. Also, destructive forces dominate him.
