Hasidut untuk Ester 7:5

וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵר֔וֹשׁ וַיֹּ֖אמֶר לְאֶסְתֵּ֣ר הַמַּלְכָּ֑ה מִ֣י ה֥וּא זֶה֙ וְאֵֽי־זֶ֣ה ה֔וּא אֲשֶׁר־מְלָא֥וֹ לִבּ֖וֹ לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת כֵּֽן׃

Maka berbicaralah Raja Ahasyweros, dan ia berkata kepada Ratu Ester: “Siapakah orang itu, dan di manakah dia, yang begitu berani dalam hatinya untuk melakukan hal seperti itu?”

Likutei Moharan

Such that every man needs to minimize his honor and to maximize the honor of 'the place' (the LORD). Since one that pursues honor does not attain "the honor of Elokim", but rather the "honor of kings" as it says, "the honor of kings is to investigate a matter", and everyone investigates after him and they ask, "who is this one, and what of him that he divides to himself this honor", and they oppose on him, such that they say that he is not worthy for this honor.
