Look At The Present!

Let's jump to Korach!

Why did Korach start up with Moshe? ask Chazal. He was really such a clever man!!

The answer they give is that he saw with Ruach Hakodesh that a great dynasty would descend from him. The great Navi Shmuel and others!! He therefore thought he was worthy.

From here the Baalei Mussar learn two important lessons.

1] A spiritual gift such a Ruach Hakodesh can cause one to leave the path of Hashem.

2] If one looks into the future he can potentially lose his present AND his future.

Love and blessings!:)
