Lesson 200

Our every motion every moment testifies, for it proves the presence of the Everlasting God.

Excerpt

Our every motion every moment testifies, For it proves the presence of the Everlasting God. So the revolution of the millstone, so violent, Testifies to the existence of a stream of water.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Rumi, just as the turning millstone proves that a stream of water is moving it, each of our movements testifies to the presence of God who gives us life. Today, at a few chosen moments — while walking, breathing, reaching out your hand —, notice that you are in motion and say inwardly: “It is Your life that moves me forward.”
