Don’t bear trouble, use it. Take whatever happens – justice and injustice, pleasure and pain, compliment and criticism – take it up into the purpose of your life and make something out of it. Turn it into testimony. Don’t explain evil, exploit evil; make it serve you. Just as the Lotus flower reaches down and takes up the mud and mire into the purposes of its life and produces the lotus flower out of them, so you are to take whatever happens and make something out of it.

16	oz	Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
5	c	Fresh spinach
1/8	ts	Cardamom

INSTRUCTIONS

Saute the onion and garlic, covered, over low heat (they will cook in their
own juices) until the onion is translucent.  Add the milk and raise heat to
medium, and cook just until boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to
prevent boiling over, add chickpeas, spinach, and spices, and continue to
cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat. Place 1 1/2 cups
of the soup into a blender or food processor and puree. Return puree to
soup, stir well, and serve hot.
Rinse spinach in warm salted water, drain, and shred or chiffonade before
using.
