Once, as the Alter Rebbe stepped out of his room, he overheard his wife remarking to several women, "Mine1 says..."

The Rebbe said: "With one mitzva I am yours; with how many are we G-d's!" With these words he fell onto the doorpost in dveikut.2 On "awakening" from the dveikut he said: "Go out and see"3 - to step out of self and perceive the Divine, comes from (the following words in that verse) "daughters of Zion," Malchut arousing z'a.4 The Future will bring the fulfillment of "A valorous woman is her husband's crown."5

FOOTNOTES
1. "Mine" is understood in Yiddish to refer to one's husband or wife.
2. Profound concentration, a communion with the Divine that removes one from physical awareness.
3. Shir Hashirim 3:11.
4. Malchut (lit. "royalty") is the tenth attribute, for which the moon is a metaphor, having no light of its own but reflecting (see "Tzemach Tzedek and Haskala Movement" p. 110, Note 3). Malchut then, is a "feminine" attribute, receiving. Z'a or z'er anpin, the "minor visage," represents the earlier six attributes, starting with chessed, gevura, (kindness, severity) etc. The six act through malchut which makes them effective. The "stepping out of self," negation of ego, and the resultant "perceiving the Divine" are elicited by the "daughters of Zion," the "feminine" aspect, malchut.
5. Mishlei 12:4. While apparently the feminine attribute is recipient, its true status will in the future be revealed as Crown, transcendent, higher than the highest attributes of intellect, as the crown encompasses the head.
