The following is RSRH's commentary on Devarim 28:2<br><br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=4><b>2
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>All these blessings will
come upon you and overtake you, if you will hearken to the voice of
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>God</font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>, your God.<br><br>
</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>The blessings of
thriving and prosperity come upon you by themselves, they come upon you
without your having<br>
sought them. </font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>They
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>overtake
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>you</i></font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>;
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>you
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>do not overtake
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>them</i></font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>. They are not<br>
the goal of your actions; they are not your aim. Precisely because you
do<br>
not seek them but want only to do God’s Will on earth, and your aim
is<br>
only to fulfill your duty to God and to realize His Will in the world
—<br>
precisely for this reason God’s blessings seek you out; they come
upon<br>
you to assist you in your endeavors, whose whole essence is none
other<br>
than the realization of God’s purposes on earth.</font></body>
