Nefesh HaChayim, Reb Itzele's Long Annotation

And as a result of the dominance of the side of impurity, the evil qualities482Heb.: ha-mee-dote ra-ote are drawn from the four herd-animal483Heb.: y’so-dim d’v’eerin elements. From the element of fire is aroused pride and anger. [*]From the element of Wind: evil utterances. From the element of water sprout evil appetites. And from the element of dust: a vessel to express their energies in thought, speech and action via the body towards evil behaviors. And towards good behaviors the body is indolent, heavy and depressed, as Rav Chayyim Vittal explained at length in the Sha’ar K’doosha.
