Greeting the Face: The Blessing of the New Moon
When people take upon themselves to do extra mitzvot as a zechut for something they want, they may feel disheartened if they don't receive what they hoped for. Heaven forbid, they might even regret the extra effort they invested in performing that mitzva.
We must never lose sight of the real purpose of this world. The true gain is always the mitzva itself. If a situation we are experiencing inspires us to do more mitzvot, we have already achieved the ultimate goal.
If we truly understood the value of a single mitzva, we would realize that any physical gain pales in comparison. If we really grasped what this world is about, we would gladly take upon ourselves additional mitzvot just to have the zechut that Hashem grants us more opportunities to fulfill more mitzvot.
The main purpose of this world is Torah and mitzvot, and whenever we have the zechut to perform any mitzvah, we should recognize it as our greatest gain.
