GEN1218 One who has been blessed by God with intelligence must impress upon himself that Hashem has sent him into this world to keep His restrictions, instructions, statutes, and commandments.  He should close his eyes to everything but the fulfillment of his mission.   At the end of days, if he fulfills his mission faithfully, he will return and come in song, crowned with eternal joy, Isaiah 31:10, Isaiah 51:11, like the servant whose king has sent him overseas, whose eyes and heart are entirely bent on his mission until he returns to his master.  Similarly, Shlomo [HaMelech], a”h, said Proverbs 22:19, 21, “Let your trust remain with Hashem…to teach you the certainty of truthful words, so that you may bring back words of truth to those who have sent you.”   GATES 141-3
