“מורא רבך כמורא שמים”
That means that you are required to have vast fear of G-d, and fear of your Rebbe should approach it.
Unfortunately, for many simple, and some not so simple Chasidim fear of G-d is hardly mentioned: just fear of their Rebbe.
Many Lubavitch Chasidim have a picture of the Rebbe in their siddur.
An acquaintance of mine converted to Lubavitch. He related that he had told the Rebbe that when davening he cannot help himself thinking that he is davening to the Rebbe. The Rebbe replied that he must not think that. This story illustrates the problem.
