I get something more every time Moula does bayan. Today, there was a bayan about Moula Ali and Abizer and a rock. Moula Ali said to Abizer take that rock and Abizer wondered why he would want a rock. He took it following Moula Ali’s words and it turned into gold. Moula told him to only take what he needed to fulfill his promise and not more. Moula did not expand more, but I finally made a connection to another thing Moula has been encouraging us to do. Be mindful of our eating. Consider your appetite and not availability. Be satisfied and stop. It’s a healthier way to eat. In general, it’s a better way to live.
Moula also said give whatever you can. It could be just a pencil or a handkerchief or a bite of food. It doesn’t have to be a big thing. This alone is beautiful. I finally connected it to the Moula Ali story. Abizer didn’t see the value of what Moula Ali said and then he did. Moula is telling us to give. We might not understand, but we may one day.
Taher, take what you need and give whatever you can.
