Torah Lessons (5703)	Chumash: Balak, Shlishi with Rashi. Tehillim: 55-59. Tanya: For they (p. 339)...BLESSED AND EXALTED. (p. 341).

In the early period of his leadership the Alter Rebbe taught:

"The footsteps of man are directed by G-d." [1]

When a Jew comes to a particular place it is for an (inner Divine) intent and purpose - to perform a mitzva, whether a Mitzva between man and G-d or a Mitzva between man and his fellow-man.

A Jew is G-d's messenger.

Wherever a messenger (Shaliach) may be, he represents the power of the Mshalei'ach, the one who sent him. [2]

The superior quality that souls possess, higher than the angels (who are also "messengers"), is that souls are messengers by virtue of Torah.
