Return to Your Rest, My Soul
Return, my soul, to your rest, for what has been given to you has been generous.
Where must I return to find true rest?
📝Reflection
The word "return" is the key. Rest is not something newly produced but a coming back to the place you were always from. We take trips and buy things as if rest must be sought somewhere far away. But the poet says: return to your rest — it was already within you. I always sought calm outside myself: once I have more, once I achieve more, then I can rest. But however much I gained, without knowing the place to return to, I could not rest. Rest was not a destination but a homecoming — to the original quiet place that waits for me at the end of all the noise.

When you tire today, before seeking comfort outside, close your eyes, breathe three times, and return briefly to "the original you."
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
