Chasidut su Salmi 36:78

Behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, healthy and good (Gen. 41:2). For man and beast you save, O LORD (Psalm 36:7), “These are people who are mentally crafty but consider themselves as animals” (Hullin 5b). For a person, of his own account, has nothing; and the fact that he does have some good thing or quality comes from God, since the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth [come knowledge and understanding] (Proverbs 2:6). Now, the seven characteristics are: (1) Love [Hesed], to love God; (2) Awe [associated with the Kabbalistic sefirah of Gevurah (Strength)], to be in awe of [God]; (3) Beauty [Tiferet], to glorify God; (4) Victory [Netzah], to triumph over the Evil Inclination – “A person should always incite his Good Inclination against his Evil Inclination” (Berakhot 5a); (5) Splendor [Hode], to praise God; (6) Foundation [Yesod], so he will be connected to all these attributes; (7) And Majesty [Malkhut], to give dominion and power to God and to declare [God] King over all the world. Therefore the characteristics are called cows, because a person must consider himself as an animal. And they fed in the reed grass (Gen. 41:2), which is translated as “in fellowship;” for to the extent that a person hates his fellow, it is on account of arrogance, and it appears to him that he deserves the honor and the greatness and envies his fellow. But one who considers himself as an animal, then he loves all the world and he bears no hatred against his fellow.

It is written, “for with You is the source of life, in Your light we will see light” (Psalms 36:10). For every member of Israel must first awaken themselves through the light of the Blessed God that is within them. For each and every one possesses this, each according to their own state and level. But it is merely buried and covered up by nonsense and worldly vanities. And one must first awaken themselves with all their strength, to cause this light to shine, each according to their own level. And then, the light from above will reach them to cause them to shine more and more. And this is [the meaning of the words] “in Your light” (Psalms 36:10) meaning in the light of the Blessed God that is within us, “we will see light” (ibid) referring to the light of abundance that pours upon one from above. And [the Karliner Rebbe] spoke above this in terms of the statement from the Holy Zohar: “The white light does not dwell until there is a dark light below.” As we see, that the bottom of a candle is black, and there is a white light that rests upon the black light from above. And this relates to what is mentioned in a number of places in the Holy Zohar, “the darkness of the morning.” For before the light of day arrives, it becomes increasingly dark, as we see with our own eyes. And likewise within a person. For the arousal from below is called “a black light”, for a person needs to awaken themselves specifically in their time of darkness. As the verse says, “and she rises when it is still night” (Proverbs 31:15). And when one is roused sufficiently, then a white light from above rests upon them. And this is [the meaning of] “arise, My light” - the black light from below - “for your light has arrived” - the white light from above is ready to pour upon you. And what is the meaning of “arise” [kumi]? For a person needs to be a complete edifice [komah shleima]. And this is [the meaning of], “arise [kumi] My light” - you shall seek to cause your entire stature to shine.
