This is the meaning of “I am black, but beautiful,” because if you can accept the blackness, you will see that I am beautiful (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 127 “The Difference between Core, Self, and Added Abundance”).

Question: What does it mean to accept blackness?

Answer: Accepting blackness means not seeing any qualities of bestowal and love, but despite the fact that we find ourselves in black egoistic thoughts that pull us down, we must make efforts and climb the degrees of spiritual correction.
