How should a person train himself to acquire the quality of Sovereignty (Malkhut)? First and foremost, he should not be proud in his heart because of all that is his, but he should behave constantly like a beggar, standing before his Creator as a poor man begging and offering supplication. Even if he is wealthy he can train himself to behave in this way by considering that none of his possessions are attached to him and that he is forsaken requiring the mercies of Heaven at all times, for all he has is the bread he eats, and he should humble his heart and afflict himself.
(Moshe Cordovero, Tomer Devorah)
