Parshas Balak (5765)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

There is an awesome lesson to be learned from Bilaam; an individual blessed with such a level of prophecy, higher than Moshe Rabeinu, yet it did not lead him to greatness. What more can a person ask for to be blessed with the greatest insight, the highest levels of prophecy.

If he is not searching for the truth and isn’t inspired to use his life for the will of Hashem and to spread kavod shamayim, he can have the greatest Divine spiritual gift of insight and it won’t lead him anywhere.

On the flip side one can be lacking all the spiritual gifts but is motivated to look, search and yearn and he will find the true closeness to Hashem and his true purpose.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
