Jeremiah 31:35 · World English Bible
Yahweh, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar; Yahweh of Armies is his name, says:
Sun and moon and stars keep their appointed order without effort, without a mind that worries whether they will rise. The same intelligence that sets them in their places moves the raging sea, and it asks nothing of your thinking to do so.
From the Ego v. Being reading below.
The same verse, read by 2 traditions.
EGO & BEING
Sun and moon and stars keep their appointed order without effort, without a mind that worries whether they will rise. The same intelligence that sets them in their places moves the raging sea, and it asks nothing of your thinking to do so. It simply is, underneath all appearance.
You belong to that order too. The presence that lights the day and governs the night is not a distant ruler but the aliveness within your own being. When you feel yourself carried by something vast and unforced, larger than the small anxious self, you are sensing directly the life that holds the whole of creation, including you.
SUFISM
Sun, moon, roaring sea: each is a place where the Hidden One steps into view, the way one flame is thrown back from a thousand scattered mirrors and stays a single fire. The heart's error is to be dazzled by the making and never greet the Maker behind it.
The cure is a humbler seeing. Let the ordered light and the wild water become reminders rather than idols, read back to their source. Then an ordinary day turns crowded with signs, every roaring wave still carrying the same Name.
Ego v. Being lens
What are you holding up that was never yours to hold?
The way is vast and does nothing, yet the seasons turn and nothing is left out. You are inside that movement, not managing it.
You are a part of the whole, not a visitor to it. What moves the stars moves in you.
The same life that lights the sun is the life breathing in you. Not two things, one.
