Our Gedolim are constantly beseeched by people to provide solutions and cures for all their Tzorus. How do the gedolim manage to deal with this all day and still maintain their lofty spiritual status? Do they not get worn out by all of this? The Likutei Basar Likutei brings the Avodas Yisroel who says that this is truly a miracle.
There were ten miracles that occurred in the Bais HaMikdash on a constant basis. One was “”V’Lo Kibu Gishamim Aish Shel Atzei Ma’aracha”, the rain did not extinguish the fire on the mizbei’ach.
The word Atzei says the Avodas Yisroel, is like Aitzos, strategies. Gishamim, means literally rain but also Gashmiyus, physical needs. No matter how bothersome the people’s constant requests for help in Gashmiyus, it did not extinguish the fire of the Kohanims spiritual strategies and zeal from the mizbei’ach from which they served Hashem.
