Avigdor Miller Zt"l advocated that "yir'eh," from the same shoresh that denotes
"seeing," means "awareness," so that "yir'ass HaShem" is the intense awareness
of Hashem's presence. This works very well, and would influence one to fulfill
what he knows he ought to do, yet perhaps be more utilized when someone is
tempted to do something he wouldn't if he truly felt that "the King is
watching."<<<BR><BR>Zvi Lampel</FONT></DIV><FONT

root. The shoresh of yirah-fear is yud-resh-aleph and the shoresh of
yirah-seeing is resh-aleph-heh. The only way you could say they have the
"same" root is if you believe in the idea that there is an essential bi-literal
root embedded in every three-letter shoresh, and thus say that the real
root of both words is resh-aleph. But I don't think anyone accepts that
way of viewing shorashim anymore.</DIV>
