Tawassum means to elicit spiritual lessons from material experiences. That is, to draw spiritual lessons from material events or experiences. Anyone who wants to live as a spiritual person must develop himself as a person who can engage in tawassum. He must enable himself to draw spiritual lessons from the non-spiritual experiences of daily life. Everything depends on the human mind. If you are a materialist, you will learn materialistic lessons, but if you believe in God, you will start learning divine lessons. When one prepares one’s mind in terms of spirituality, one will be able to take spiritual lessons from every event. For example, if you take a glass of water and drink from it, you can also take a lesson from this. An awakened mind will reflect on how water was created: how two gases could combine and form a beneficial liquid (H2O). This will become a way to discover and remember God. You can take spiritual lessons from every experience you have: the rising of the sun in the morning, the continuous supply of oxygen from the air, the flying of birds in the sky, green trees standing on the surface of the earth, flowing streams and so on. If you continue your thinking process and continue to take lessons from nature, you will have a high level of spiritual development.
