                          THE TREE OF LIFE

Revelation 2;7 , Genesis 2:9 , Genesis  3 : 22

  How to partake of the communion and companionship by living in sincerity and faithfulness !! Most often even when we are given over and above  of all our wishes and dreams, we still engage in secret relationships and secret dealings in business and in politics which mar the entire community. This is revealed in Revelation 2:7 , something which was prepared and kept for us from the veryh beginning, and something which could only be handed over to the concerned person only on maturity and when they have the power to overcome temptations and trials and  be steadfast in character   and personality.  F            or the overcomers, the very first thing granted was the ‘ FRUIT OF THE TREE OF LIFE “ which was in the midst of the Paradise of God . Today if we do  an analysis and research, how many will be eligible and worthy as overcomers to be granted this honor.  Are we strong to resist temptations of all nature.  All the heritage and treasures of our father and mother, even though we are entitled to receive , do they pass it on if we are not trustworthy. How much more the spiritual gifts.  When we acquire land in forest areas ,  the people put in extra effort to make the land profitable . If it is land or institutions inherited, still so much vigilant work has to be put in to make it more prosperous and more productive.  The material things can be done with the help of outside agencies. Eating from the tree of life or eating daily meals, cannot be done by one person so that the benefit is received by  another person. If it were so , the poor people would never have felt hunger or thirst by being enriched by the consumption of food by other people. But it never happens that way. If one child learns well in a class of sixty or seventy children , only that particular child score high marks. Only if each and everyone do their work diligently, they can score highly.

  Here how long we had to wait to eat from the tree of life even  though it was ready for us  from the foundation of the earth. Even now , all nations in all continents are so enriched with  abundant of natural resources and minerals,

See the per capita income, the comfort and the luxuries they enjoy. It is poverty amidst abundant wealth.  All the mountains and valleys are rich in themselves. All the countries in Africa are heavily laden with diamond, rubies, emeralds, minerals, oil and gas, trees which are hundreds of years old . But the state of affairs of the population there  are miserable . the reason is lack of knowledge, skill and organization , mechanical know how and lack of administrative power

to initiate and progress in the right manner. People find it difficult to maintain the already well established organizations, then how much more difficult it will be for the people where literacy rate is very low. South Africa, Namibia and other countries while enriching other nationalities who could excavate all the mines

remained backward  and without much progress . It is not the availability of riches, it the wise use of what you have that make life rich and enjoyable and worthwhile. Contentment is the sum total of what you have and how you use it

whether the possession is large or small.

Even now when education is free for all, how many are enthusiastic about availing of this opportunity. The tradition of preventing children, specially girls is so deep rooted that it requires extra will power to  cultivate and accept the broad mindedness of  accepting the progress of our own children , whether boys or girls.  No wonder the Creator hesitated to expose the wisdom to his creation who are rebellious and reluctant to accept righteous instructions and dignified ways of living . Creative ingenuity and progressive divine lifestyle is an abhor to many,

They would rather go to atrocities and laugh loudly when they watch the gasping children form the chemical  lethal gas administration  as is administered in

Syria . Unless the divinity in us is awakened, no material prosperity can solve the burning issues facing our planet . Each experimental explosions  kills millions of animals, fishes and other sea and land  and air creatures. When the bomb explodes in villages and towns, we see the after effects. When the explosions are done in sea or underground, those inhabitants there are annihilated, only that we do not see with our eyes.  Every time we dig the soil we see the earth worms and beetles, and other creatures. Deep sea or underground land areas also are habitat of so many other creatures. Who cares for them. What is right in front of us , we care little. What is beyond our view, we do not even fathom the destruction of such enormous nature. The tree of life, that is the divine wisdom is so precious. Are we mature enough to understand even a tiny bit of it .  We prefer to have gestures and sign language and splitting the spelling of words and understanding the meaning . No body is bothered about the inner eye, the inner wisdom, the enlightenment ,  the wholesome meaning which reveals far more than what is  seen outwardly. All who have studied the Shakespearian plays will understand what is the outward meaning and the inner meaning of his expressions. How much more the Scriptures , if we takes them seriously. Lightly taken, they are wonderful stories for rainy days . No wonder even after so many centuries, we are still pondering over the deep unfathomable  underlying wisdom of the divine Scriptures . The year long concentrated preparation and coaching for all the entrance exams, for employment interviews, for the higher educations  when compared to the scanty glancing over the scriptures reveals the contrast in its result.     It is self-explanatory.

Those who are highly educated, do their thinking, actions, judgments, administrations keep up higher standard from the rest of the population who look up to them for guidance, assistance, direction in various fields. Their facial expression, vocabulary, gestures, verdicts on very important matters  give evidence to their inner ideology  and tactics  . If excellent guidance is given, they can really make wonders  among all strata of population, once these percolate to all strata of society. Therefore education, that is imparting knowledge is the only way to disperse the genuine correct wisdom of all subjects. The hindrance is that even when offered free , with free books, uniform, nutritious meals,  acceptance and continued attendance faces stumbling blocks , just because of the tradition of ignorance, stubbornness  and neglect of certain sections of society . Who can find a solution  ????
