Source, channel

God is the source, other things can be the channels. Must look to the source, not the channel. Dismount from your donkey, in order to get to the fountain..

"It was then that I carried you.." It was He Himself, not His vessels.. (Fine, all are figurative, but the focus is clear, it is Him, not the channels..)

Hmmm.. It is time to dismount.
