Korach was a man of spiritual stature. How could he possibly have denied
Moshe and Aharon’s appointment, to the extent that he eventually mocked
the words of Torah?
Bnei Yisrael have a mitzvah to constantly remain unified. Hashem’s
Names are contained in the Torah, as well as within each and every Jew.
The Zohar states, “Hashem, the Torah, and Yisrael are one.” By defecting
from the nation, Korach was, in effect, disconnecting himself from
Hashem and the Torah. Rabbi Akiva states, “You shall love your fellow
as yourself – this is a fundamental principle in the Torah.” Since all of the
neshamot correspond to the Names of Hashem, with which the Torah was
written, whoever slights his friend’s honor is considered to have belittled
the honor of the Torah.

Whoever dominates over others is considered to dominate over Hashem,
for the neshamah of a person corresponds to the Torah, which was written
with Hashem’s Names. Furthermore, every person breathes the life which
Hashem implanted within him. Slighting a fellow man, then, contains an
element of slighting Hashem Himself.
