It’s not every day that a donkey starts speaking. And when they do, you’d expect a shock; but instead Bilaam said כִּי הִתְעַלַּלְתְּ בִּי – “You were mocking me.”
And Rabbeinu Bechayai wonders: Why didn’t he just stop and say “Hey, what’s going on here?” And the answer is that when you want something, your mind works overtime and it carries you away and doesn’t allow you to notice what’s going on.
The message of Bilaam is one thing: Everything that’s going on around you is amazing, it’s communications from above. But you have to shut up and listen… Today.
