LEV323 Leave pe’ah (an unharvested corner of the field for the sake of the poor). Hashem wants His Chosen People to be crowned with every admirable trait and quality. He wants them to be generous and giving so that their souls are blessed. There is no doubt that when a man does not harvest a corner of his field and allows the poor to take freely of what grows there, the act positively influences his soul and helps to make him kind hearted. As a result, the blessings of Hashem will abide in him. He will be satisfied with Hashem's goodness and his soul will be glad. On the other hand, when a man harvests his entire crop and brings it all into his house--when the poor saw it when it was ripe and desired it to quell their hunger but he left none of it for them--he shows a selfish spirit and unfeeling heart. He surely invites evil upon himself.
