Malchut: Leadership, discipline, nobility
Malchut is both the receiver and the consummation of giving.
Malchut contains two completely opposite qualities, called hitnasut, meaning "exaltedness," and its opposite shiflut, meaning "humility".
Malchut is the power to express one's thoughts and emotions to others. The spiritual state identified in Chassidut as corresponding to the sefirah of malchut is that of shiflut (humility). ... Malchut also serves as the means for establishing an identification with outer reality. Exercising kingship requires utmost sensitivity to the needs of the realm which one seeks to rule.
Malchut authority and "kingship"
Hesed: Overflowing loving kindness
Chesed: the desire to give more and more is the attribute of chesed
Chesed means kindness or benevolence. It denotes the unbounded loving-kindness with which G-d created the worlds and with which all of creation is permeated.
Chesed is associated in the soul with the desire to embrace all of Creation and bestow upon it goodness. As the expansive force which impels the soul to connect with outer reality, chesed inspires, and thus implicitly accompanies, all the other expressions of emotive force which succeed it in the soul. ... The spiritual state identified in Chassidut as corresponding to the sefirah of chesed is that of ahavah (love).
