Even if he does not see—his fortune sees

Even if he does not see—his fortune sees

Even if a person does not notice a great danger, his fortune prevents him from falling into it. Likewise, if a person does not notice a good opportunity that comes his way, his fortune helps him choose the right decision.

("When the angel goes and stands on the road, even though the man does not see him, his fortune sees him and the fortune is afraid" – Midrash Aggadah (Buber) on Numbers ch. 22; and likewise: "Even though he does not see, his fortune sees" – Megillah 3a)
