Grist for the Mill

[Dhara]

I've always loved that turn of phrase. A Buddhist way of saying would be "taking suffering on the path". Where does this phrase, "grist for the mill" come from?

What's your understanding of it?

 

[Dhara]

Grist to the mill - meaning and origin.

ground grain

 

[HaShev]

In Judaism Dosh=thresher (removing chaff from the wheat.)
THE term MikDash for the Temple is also called MikDosh because the Temple is in the name of the one who removes that thin veil from our eyes like a thresher removing the layer on the grain.

sources:
Isaiah 25:7says Moshiach removes the thin veil from our eyes.

The name is in the Temple (MIKDASH) in his name.- (Melakim {I Kings8:43}(2Chronicles6)
Ma'aser Sheni in the Torah says
About tithing the produced food and eating it at the Temple:
“at the site that He shall choose to place His Name”
Michael is the Thresher thus it's also called the MIKdosh (dosh=thresher).
