vayikra

ונפש כי תקריב קרבן מנחה (ב,א)
When a soul will bring a meal offering.
Rashi says, who normally brings a mincha? The poor man.
The Gemara in (מנחות (קיsays that it says ריח ניחח by a korban of an animal, a bird & the mincha to teach us that no matter what kind of korban you're able to afford, as long as your intention is for 'ה, they're all equal to 'ה.
The Chafetz Chaim says that there are people who know that they don't keep the Torah properly. Nevertheless, they take solace in knowing that there are other people who are worse than them.
Alas says the Chafetz Chaim, how foolish that is, for we see by the Korbunos that each person brings what is right for him & if a rich man would bring a poor man's korban it would be worthless. So too each person is judged by his intellect & capabilities, & what's right for one person isn't always right for someone else.
אחד המרבה ואחד הממעיט ,ובלבד שיכוון ליבו לשמים
The בן איש חי says that we can also learn from here that there is equal שכר for a person who adds holiness to the world by doing mitzvos as by a person who holds himself back from sinning & thereby lessening the level of טומאה in the world.
As long as your intention is לשם שמים, then even by not doing something that you would want to do, but don't because 'ה doesn't want you to, then you get the same שכר as if you did the biggest mitzva.
Maybe what the Torah is teaching us here is that we have to try to find our own place & not look at what other people are doing. We have to know that we have to elevate ourselves by either doing good or just not doing bad & taking the steps needed to make sure that whatever we do
שיכוון ליבו לשמים!
