Likutei Moharan 5:5/ליקוטי מוהר"ן ה׳:ה׳

15. Know as well that a person must couple the gevurot (severities) with chasadim (benevolences), left with right, as is written (Psalms 20:7), “with the saving gevurot (strength) of His right arm.” For the main revelation comes about <through the right,> by means of chasadim, as is written (ibid. 110:1), “Sit at My right hand [while I make your enemies your footstool].”

2It is likewise necessary to couple love with fear of Heaven, in order to generate thunder. This [love] is from the right side, from “a mind as white as silver” (Tikkuney Zohar #70).

3This is <the meaning of “When it turned morning, the sea returned to its might”> (Exodus 14:27). “The sea” alludes to the sea of wisdom; “when it turned morning”—this is the morning of Avraham (Zohar II, 170b), corresponding to “Avraham My beloved” (Isaiah 41:8) ; “to its might”—this is gevurot, corresponding to “The sound of Your thunder was in the sphere.”

4And this is (Song of Songs 8:7), “Many waters cannot extinguish the love.” For the ability to conquer is mainly by means of love, as in, “Sit at My right….”

5And this is the explanation of (Psalms 29:3), “the El (God) of Glory thunders.” “El” is chesed (lovingkindness); “glory” is wisdom, as is written (Proverbs 3:35), “The wise will inherit glory”; “thunders” alludes to the thunder. In other words, the gevurot, an aspect of thunder, must be coupled with love, so that they will strike the glory, the aspect of wisdom, and be converted into thunder. Then, you will conquer your enemies, as in, “Sit at My right hand while I make your enemies your footstool.”
