heragony

Her Agony .
-------------
Very confidential letters by a faith full to her confession father and to her spiritual counselor , found way to the open world which is un- ethical and never supposed to be made public
and against the high spiritual values , going round the visual and print media after ten years of her death making flutter and sensation . But, if we go through the fine print of the texts of the letters there is nothing
controversial or nothing to sensationalize . In her youth full age, Mother Theresa was a teacher for seventeen long years . But she was thinking teaching was not her calling and she was disturbed in her heart
after some sickness she was convalescing at a distant place from her dwelling . During her annual retreat
in Himalayan foothills her prayers got answer , in her solitude Jesus spoke to her and told her to leave her job and go to the Calcutta slums where the poorest of the poor are living in a condition far below fit for human existence .She joined her mission and found satisfaction and peace of mind and she was doing it in right earnestness . It was reported for more than fifty years after that she never felt the presence of God
she had a darkness in her faith .
I don’t feel any thing very special about it . She was also a human being just like you and me. When she is doing something exemplary well and wiping the tears of the poorest of poor , naturally,
She thought Jesus will appreciate her work and say “well done keep it up” . But it never happened. Just like a CEO after giving instruction to carry out an assignment to his assistant, if he found the instructions
were carrying out correctly he need not go to him every time and say nice things to him . Just like that the master crafts man was looking her from afar and there was no scope for further correction.
But Mother Theresa wanted to hear her menders voice or a pat in the back. But He had other options. The rewards were bestowing on her in various other ways honors including Nobel Price came her way . But she was longing for Jesus voice. God plan was keeping darkness in her heart. But even when the darkness was so great and in one moment she doubted even the existence of God . But she was never an atheist. She wrote “I want the work to remain only His” she wanted only Jesus’ name to come first that is why she wrote “ He must be forcing Himself to do so – because He loves you so much :” the personal love Christ has for you is infinite .

Saddam&CPMI

World Community condemning the Death sentence to Saddam Hussein . It is a matter to be condemned . But he deserve it . How many people he butchered including his son- in-law.
I like to comment on a news item in to days print media. CPM general secretary
Mr Prakash Karett while condemning the judgment , he is demanding, India should exert
International pressure to change the verdict and also local party units to organize demonstrations
to pressurize US . Ha!!Ha!! what he think of CPM of India in world affairs? . In that matter India , the so called emerging world power,( all in Indian media ). In US India not even important as Pakistan. Mid july to mid October I was in US. I was reading daily the Washington post . In the three month I have been in US I read of India only twice in Washington post . one when the ban against coco kola removed by court and a small feature about the mobile phone use by the fisherman in Kerala. . Even the bomb blast in Mumbai cost found an insignificant mention .Even Sasi Tharoor`s UN candidacy was not important .In the IT world , because the flattening of the world by out sourcing, presence of India is felt . otherwise it is not even a paper tiger .

God

God, Religion and Man


God and religion are two puzzle right from the beginning of mankind. Every time
thinking man tried to find a solution or rather an answer to God .In horeb , in the burning bush
Yehowa told Moses that “ I am who I am ‘ But it was not a convincing Answer . But after
few thousand years, Jesus Christ gave answer to this puzzle to His disciples . St John, through
out in his Gospel gives the answer as told by Jesus . He is the Way, Truth, Eternal life and Resurrection .Even though all the major religions of Humanity originated from Asia, lot of researches and deliberations had taken place in the western hemisphere .

During the early days of human inhabitance in this world, any thing which is beyond
his comprehension was God . It may be thunder, lightning, snake, sun, moon etc . Similarly,
masculine and feminine gods had equal status . Earlier pagan Gods were paired as husband and wife .
For each actions they coined a separate God. All powerful omnipotent God derived in
later centuries .Abraham the Israeli patriarch is the first known who worshiped the
all powerful God Yehowa .But there is a mention of a Priest and king of god the most high, Melchizedek in Genisis14-18. All these pagan Gods or God the most high were cruel or one to whom there was no easy access. Moses told the Israelites no man should touch the mountain not even an animal in that case, it should be stoned to death. Yehowa was considered to be the God of Army that is equally good for Hindu mythological Gods.

But through centuries man’s concepts of God changed to a still mild and compassionate
God, who is caring the day today life of man, who is sympathetic to his sorrows, worries and even in his happiness .Similarly during the Axle age (750 BC to 1st centaury CE) feminine Goddesses,
gently pushed back to the oblivion . When the Son of God, member of the trinity born this world
through Virgin Mary, He was an equal ordinary human being except in sin . Even Allah of Mohammed was compassionate.

In the later part of 20th centaury, a calculated move started to bring back the lost paradise
of Feminism and Goddesses. Priory sion, Davance Code, projecting Mary Magdalene as the
wife and heir of Jesus Christ are few examples. Had Jesus was having a wife what prevented him
from proclaiming it . Those day’s social customs were not preventing it. He was and is the God
and above all the human temptations . Just before him starting his earthly mission he was in the wilderness, after the forty days fast, when he was communing with His father. Satan came to tempt
Him with, food, wealth, power and supremacy of the world. But he came out victorious .All the
perverted theories circulating today are bound to face natural death . Globalization and commercialization of society is an easy platform to spread the wild fires.

“we cannot see God intellectually , but if we let ourselves be enveloped in the cloud that
dissented up on mount Sinai , we will feel His presence “ This is the word of great Capodocian Father Basil.
