Divine Light off the Pots and Pans

Timeless kitchen wisdom of Sufi Sam...
'And I'm telling you that I'm frightened! When the President of the United States dares to call in any man under the name of any religion and sends arms to Palestine, where is God? I reached the point where I'm not going to go to Palestine for martyrdom and you can laugh! Why? Because if I told you I was willing to go to Palestine and be martyred by either side I think a lot of you would go with me. I think a lot of you would want to and don't think that this is impossible. The last week, I was twice offered money to go there -- what do you think of that? And I have two crusades I see in the back of my mind. I'm scared of each of them and I won't go without you. One is a peace procession that is a real peace procession... and not a rightist or leftist or wrongist or conservative or liberal or pro-Russian or an anti-Russian or a pro-Chinese or anti-Chinese or a pro-Tierra del Fuegian or an anti-Eskimo. But a real peace procession where the demonstrators demonstrate peace. I mean just that. I'm afraid if we start it, we're going to succeed. We'll have all the newspapers against us; we'll have the Birch people, the Communists, the Wall Street Journal all embracing each other to oppose us. But I think the time will come when we'll be very effective.
You know, after spouting like I'm doing, you know what I did this morning? I went home and I prepared okra for a dinner. Every time I lecture and put myself as superior to anybody, I go home and do a menial task, and I'm always sure God is much more with me in the menial task than when I'm up in the pulpit. And I find after a while that the light that shines off the pots and pans is as great as the light that you'll see anywhere else.'
