I heard from an experienced elder who was telling a disciple: 'O son! If the concern of humankind for sustenance were directed towards the provider of sustenance, he would surpass the angels in rank.'

God did not forget you in that state

When you were a buried and unconscious drop of semen

He gave you soul, nature, intellect, and perception

Beauty, speech, opinion, thought, and intelligence

He arranged ten fingers on your palm

He made your two arms as mounts on your shoulders

Now you think, O you of meager aspiration!

That He will one day forget to provide for you?
