A sign of folly is a person that talks a lot. A sign for ignorance is a person that praises himself.

The Zohar negate this logic and say that if no one recognize a person&rsquo;s qualities then he can open his mouth only with words of Torah that reveals truth and wisdom. Then people would know the person, his wisdom and praise him accordingly.<br>\nThere&rsquo;s nothing in the world that can reveal the nature of a person like the words coming out of his mouth.<br>\n#165<br>\nThe evil Balaam was praising himself on everything he does, exaggerating on the little things and telling truth about the impure actions he did. He was using unclear words to big looked as if he is the greatest prophet in the world.

The &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Talmud and Kabbalah&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; emphasize that what a person chooses to see&mdash;whether positive or negative&mdash;has a profound effect on their thoughts, emotions, and spiritual state. Vision is not passive; it actively shapes reality, influencing both the observer and what is observed.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;quot;A Person is Led in the Way They Desire to Go&rdquo;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;The Talmud (Makkot 10b) states, &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&#1489;&#1491;&#1512;&#1498; &#1513;&#1488;&#1491;&#1501; &#1512;&#1493;&#1510;&#1492; &#1500;&#1497;&#1500;&#1498; &#1489;&#1492; &#1502;&#1493;&#1500;&#1497;&#1499;&#1497;&#1503; &#1488;&#1493;&#1514;&#1493;&amp;quot;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;&amp;quot;A person is led in the way they desire to go.&rdquo; This means that where a person &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;directs their vision&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, whether toward good or evil, determines the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;spiritual pathways opened to them&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;. If one looks for &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;holiness, beauty, and divine wisdom&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, they draw those forces into their soul. Conversely, if they gaze upon impurity or negativity, they become spiritually tainted and distanced from Hashem.The story of the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;spies (meraglim) in Parashat Shelach&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; illustrates this concept. Ten of the twelve spies sent to scout the Land of Israel returned with &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;a negative vision&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;they saw the difficulties rather than the divine promise. Their perception led to national despair and the decree of wandering in the desert for forty years. The Midrash explains that their failure was not just in speech but in &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;how they chose to see&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;instead of seeing the land&rsquo;s potential, they focused on obstacles. This teaches us that &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;perception shapes reality&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, and negativity can distort the truth.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Vision as a Creative Force in Kabbalah&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;Kabbalah teaches that &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;sight is an act of creation&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;what we fixate on becomes energized in our consciousness. This idea is deeply rooted in the concept of &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Ayin Hara (the Evil Eye)&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, where negative perception can project harmful energy upon others. The Zohar explains that a jealous or judgmental gaze &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;activates forces of judgment (Dinim) in the spiritual realms&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, potentially causing harm to the one being looked at and the one doing the looking.On the other hand, &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Ayin Tovah (the Good Eye)&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; represents the ability to see &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;divine goodness in everything&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;. The Baal Shem Tov taught that &amp;quot;a person sees in others what exists within themselves.&rdquo; When we cultivate a &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;positive vision&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, focusing on the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;inner goodness&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; of others and of the world, we align ourselves with divine mercy (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Chesed&amp;lt;\/em&amp;gt;) and elevate both ourselves and those around us.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;The Eyes as the Window to the Soul&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;The Kabbalists explain that the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;eyes are the windows to the soul&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; and that everything we see leaves an imprint on our inner being. This is why &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;guarding one&rsquo;s vision&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Shmirat HaEinayim&amp;lt;\/em&amp;gt;) is such a fundamental concept in Jewish ethics. When a person sees &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;holy images&mdash;Torah, mitzvot, acts of kindness&mdash;it strengthens their spiritual sensitivity&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;. When they expose themselves to impurity, it desensitizes them and clouds their perception of divine truth.The &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Tikkunei Zohar&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; teaches that &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Adam and Chavah&rsquo;s sin in the Garden of Eden began with sight&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;Chavah &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;saw&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; that the fruit was desirable, and this visual temptation led to spiritual downfall. This teaches us that &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;what we allow ourselves to see directly influences our actions and spiritual trajectory&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Transforming Vision into a Tool for Elevation&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;The ultimate rectification (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Tikkun&amp;lt;\/em&amp;gt;) of vision is to train ourselves to &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;see the divine spark in all things&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;. The Tzaddikim teach that even in times of darkness, we must focus on the hidden light (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Or HaGanuz&amp;lt;\/em&amp;gt;) within every situation. This is why the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Tzaddikim always see hope, potential, and holiness&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; where others may see only obstacles.When we refine our vision&mdash;looking at others with kindness, seeking Hashem&rsquo;s presence in the world, and maintaining faith in His plan&mdash;we align ourselves with divine blessing. As the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;book of Tehillim (Psalms 121:1)&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; declares: &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&#1488;&#1513;&#1488; &#1506;&#1497;&#1504;&#1497; &#1488;&#1500; &#1492;&#1492;&#1512;&#1497;&#1501; &#1502;&#1488;&#1497;&#1503; &#1497;&#1489;&#1488; &#1506;&#1494;&#1512;&#1497;&amp;quot;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;&amp;quot;I lift my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come?&rdquo; Looking upward, toward the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;spiritual heights&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, ensures that our vision becomes a force of &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;light, transformation, and connection to the Divine&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;.&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/?glossary=vision\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">vision<\/a> of the Almighty, Falling down, and eyes uncovered.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Lesson;<br>\nWhen we hear a person speaks, we can tap into his thoughts.
