The Kotzker Rebbe said; “Moshe
battled to understand (why the Torah introduced the element of fear and punishment
into some of its commandments)...
...until he was told to; ‘Go down from your lofty
heights, and understand that some do need the introduction of a fear factor (to
keep them from transgressing religious prohibitions).”[1]
Nonetheless, the ideal remains
that with a proper understanding of spirituality, a religious person should
never have to endure a fear of any sort, in their relationship with G-d.
