In Islam we have a saying
It is, tie your camel and then trust in God
In other words, handle your business, first
Secure what you're supposed to secure
Do what you're supposed to do
And then trust in-
You don't sit back and do nothing and say
Oh, the Creator is gonna pay this bill for me
You mess around, right, and hit the light switch
And it don't come on
You know?
So, we have to handle our business, man
This is the first day, today
I'm still tryna adjust to getting up at four o'clock
For the early prayer
And then shortly thereafter
Not having anything to eat or drink since 5:30
And man, I feel like I'm thirstier than I've evеr been
You know what I mean?
Like I'm on a desert on somеthing
But
I been doin this for many, many years, so
I know what it does to you
And the good things, well all the things are good
But some of them, they're not too comfortable
I don't like being hungry
But I like feeling what people that don't have no food
I like feeling a little bit of what they feel
Exactly, yeah, the connection
I think that's something all of us should connect to
On some level
Even though, man
We eat a lot of food
And we should really be careful of that
Because there are people that just don't have food
That even die of hunger
So it really elevates your consciousness
In terms of being able to connect
With the value and the blessing of food
And the turmoil and the life
Of those that are hungry
