It might sound like masochism, but it is not. The one who rebukes helps us by cutting at our ego, which lets the light in. “Light” here means the quality of love, bestowal, and connection dwelling in nature, or in other words, the quality of the Creator.
When we hear words that deflate our pride, we can draw closer to the Creator.
Egoism, our desire to enjoy at others’ expense, is the wall, and rebuke is the hammer. If we aim ourselves at correcting our ego in order to resemble the Creator, then we will not rejoice in humiliation, but we will use it.
A Kabbalist might appear angry or indignant, but on the inside, he is grateful. He knows that this is help, a tool for elevating his soul to more closeness with the Creator.
