Aharon is told not to feel left out. He didn't have the privelege to bring korbanot with the other heads of the tribes. He felt left out. HKBH told him, not to worry - his job, lighting the Menorah, would light a light that would be eternal, not limited to the time and place of having a Sanctuary, as is the case with the korbanot of the other tribes.
The Slonimer Rebbe says that this eternal light the light of the Menorah is the connection between the Supernal light of creation, hidden away for the righteous, and the Light of each and every Jew. ..and this Hidden Light is actually hidden in plain view -- right there, where? hidden in the light of Shabbos! And the more we connect to Shabbos, to bring out the light of Shabbos, the more revealed that light will be.Light the Lights. Connect to G-d. Sounds like Shavuos. Sounds like Chanuka. Sounds like Shabbos.
Good Shabbos, Good Shabbos
