You Are What You Eat
Every person you see on the street is for that purpose. Once he was a little seven pound baby. Now he’s 180 pounds. So you’re thinking, “Where did he come from?” You don’t gain poundage by breathing air. It’s from food. You came from the food that you eat.
Where did the food come from? From the soil. You know what soil is? It’s a miracle material. You know, in one tablespoon of soil you have more living organisms than you have people in greater New York. And they’re all functioning together to make food. It’s an especial creation just for feeding us.
So let’s say you're walking in the street tomorrow morning. While you’re on the street stop for a moment and look at your neighbor’s garden or that little spot of soil around the tree; and you’re thinking about how complicated and miraculous the soil is. Stop and give it thirty seconds on the clock. “I’ll become more of a ma’amin because of this soil.” This causes things to grow and causes things to be used over again. Things fall on the soil, they rot away and become part of the soil again. Even a person, your body is put into the soil, your body rots and becomes part of the soil again. The soil is a miracle. It creates and recreates again and again.
And the whole earth is coated with this marvelous material that no other planet has. Mars doesn't have it. No planet has this. Today with a spectroscope they can see from a distance what's on the planets. There's no soil on the planets. It’s a miraculous material created especially for us.
