Is Your Connection with Hashem Temporary or Permanent?
Rashi says רָקִּיַּו is a Lashon of: ַﬠ ָר ִא ְו יטוּ ְמ ָאה short-term and Tum'ah. Bilam’s connection with Hashem is only temporary, whereas by Moshe it says אָרְקִיַּו- a permanent loyal connection.
We need to spend as much time as possible with Hashem, Who is: ְמקוֹ ָכּ ר ַה ל ַה ְצ ָלחוֹ ֶשׁ ת ָבּעוֹ ָל ם the source of all the Hatzlachos in the world, and less and less time trying to impress people, who have no real Koach over you.
A person should always daven that his involvement with Hashem should be more and more dominant, and not to be so heavily involved in wondering what people think of him. To do as many “Pratim” as possible, and not to be afraid of a Basar V'dam, who is truly zero compared to Hashem.
It is recommended to have a set time to schmooze and thank Hashem (in English!) and to beg Him to help you make Him your main Chavrusa ןָמֲחַרָה בָא שֶׁפֶנ דיִדְי (close Friend and loving Father) instead of being similar to Bilam, Chas V'shalom, who made Hashem secondary, Rachmana Litzlan, and the Kavod he received from humans his #1 concern, Rachmana Litzlan! If you do this, you will become a super Mutzlach!
