Цитата к Берешит 41:4

..“And the ugly gaunt cows ate up the seven handsome sturdy cows,” hints that Israel will make an end of the other nations through the magnitude of its holiness. The verse explains how this will happen when it continues “But when they had consumed them,” one could not tell that they had consumed them (for they looked just as bad as before). The meaning is that the good God mercifully planted within the hearts of the Tsaddikim so that the fire of awe and attachment burns within them, yet modestly and hidden, so that they appear crazy in the eyes of the world who do not understand this (about them). This is as I said earlier with regard to the verse “What great goodness [is hidden for those who fear You].”1 This can put them in opposition to other people, given that hidden in their hearts is love and awe and enthusiasm which is in opposition to those people who dwell in darkness, who do not know how good is the awe for and the loving desire of our blessed and exalted creator. This is why the fat cows entered into the lean with no effect, that good can enter into them without them realizing it, namely they can “ingest” awe, love of God and d’vekut from a Tsaddik without it having any effect on them.
