Aug 17, 2018 at 6:03 comment added יהושע ק I don't have a source for this but basically texts dealing with this suggest that the closer you draw to Him the greater the reward for your mitzvot (in this world for some, Olam Haba for others, depends on the mitzvah) but also the greater the punishment for your transgressions.
Aug 16, 2018 at 22:36 comment added SAH This is a fascinating answer; thank you. I am still waiting for insights on this topic that would explain why a non-tzaddik should still want to be righteous despite the "fact" (??) that it will get him punished here on earth. (It is very hard to hold out for the rewards of the Next World, or entirely to subjugate one's self-interest to the Will of the Creator -- though of course that is the goal.)
