Korach's
complaint to G-d was that upon leaving Egypt they were promised this
land flowing with milk and honey, and they never got it. And now they
were told that they'll end up dying in the desert. But had they listened
to the right spies, they would have realized that they were actually so
close to entering this promised land, and they chose to believe the
negative spies, instead of the truthful ones. Yet they were so convinced
that they chose correctly that in THEIR mind they were never offered a
flowing land. It's scary to think of how the mind will warp reality to
make it fit its thoughts, with sometimes total disregard for actual
reality. In this case we have the perspective to realize the mistake,
and perhaps learn from it.

Daily Aliya for Korach, Sheni (2nd Aliya)
From Chabad.org: Moshe pleads with G‑d not to accept the incense
offering of the rebellious group. Korach spends the night inciting the
Jews against Moshe, and gathers them all to the entrance of the
Tabernacle to witness the grand spectacle. G‑d's glory appears.
