Christ is Our Hope...(Resurrection)

It's been a long for Christians who were fasting, praying and doing a lot of charitable acts during these 40 days of the Lent. For sure Easter is not the day to stop doing such good and kind acts. These acts are meritorious when done with an inner aptitude of love for God and for humanity. For it is the love of God that compels us do love the neighbour without any expectation. That is exactly what Jesus did on the Good Friday. Therefore, Easter is the continued fruit/merit of the sacrifice on Good Friday. Therefore, the sacrifice of Christ's life on Good Friday receives its ultimate reward on Easter Sunday.

I believe, life on earth is perfectly imperfect. The time is the witness of this imperfect life. If birth is the beginning of life death is not the end of life; for death is only part of this imperfection. So, this perfect imperfection needs to be bridged by the divine imperfect reality. For, it is Christ who indeed incarnated into this imperfect reality; because His origin has no end. Therefore St Augustine once said :"Resurrectio Christi spes nostra." Christ is our Hope. Yes Christ is our Hope who showed us the Way, the Truth and the Life. He also said "I AM the Bread of Life." and "I AM the Resurrection."

For sure, we fallible beings need to re-tune the melody of life; be it once's prayer life, reflective life or from a life of indifference.....To be continued....

A Poor Teacher....

Image
We all know a famous saying "A good teacher teaches. A better teacher exhorts and the best teacher inspires." Fortunate if you have such teachers who walk into your student life. For sure they teach, encourage and inspire you to become better and the best. Unfortunate if you have poor and pathetic teachers who neither teach nor prepare for the class. Such teachers do come into our student life who paradoxically inspire by their despair. Strange but true. But to reach to this aptitude one requires an open mind and heart to accept the things that they cannot change but change one self instead. However, what I want to say is that today during two hours of class we experienced such poor and pathetic performance of a professor who only talked and taught nothing. Plenty of words bla bla bla....I just had a look around the class that was packed with students but then, most of them were all like as if suffocated and some constipated and still worse few were indifferent catching th...

MEANING AS CONSTITUTIVE OF COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNION: LONERGAN

Image
Today seeking meaning in life is a common phenomenon that we all come across. Now it is sought in things, gadgets, celebrities, movies, sports, drinks, music, business and what not. Thus we have reached a state where meaning is to be found very instantly and immediately. The picture aptly depicts the attitude of today’s new generation where meaning is to be found totally out side the self and end up terribly disappointed, discouraged and disgusted. Some prominent examples can be that of Michael Jackson, Whiney Houston, Marilyn Monroe and Tiger Woods etc. What was missing in their life? What could be the reason why they failed to strike the balance between life/career and meaning? In this multimedia era finding meaning is very crucial and challenging. In this context Victor Frankel is one person who inspires me with his life; in spite of struggles he lived his life with a purpose. In this regard there are so many others like, Hellen Keller, Mother Teresa, John Paul II, Steve Jobbs...

Sorry! Dear Future Generations...!

Image
We belong to earth and earth does not belong to us. My kind thoughts on mother earth, my humble pronounce to you... The almighty had a dream to create a beautiful palace in the cosmos; the thoughts blossomed, it was self a revolving beauty with mighty oceans, blue skies, green trees, long rivers, huge mountains, wonderful creatures and human beings the most significant one. As we know this from the book of Genesis that God created everything and human being as the crown of creation. But something has gone wrong...   We used EARTH as a credit card with no spending limit. As a result, the beautiful Pandas, the Penguins, the Polar bears and the African Tigers are gradually getting extinct. Do you know why paddy fields are turned into stadiums, forests into factories and hills into  leveled  grounds....for this Money?   Besides, our development is a disguise and our progress is a mask.  I AM SORRY to tell you that we are gone wrong by cutting do...
