LAW ABIDING
CITIZENS
X
LAW BREAKING CITIZENS
1. There are millions of people in our country
and all over the world who may not know the number of the clause of certain
rules concerning business
transactions, marriage , adultery,
schooling privilege, heath insurance
schemes etc . But they may be “ law abiding citizens “ because they do not
provoke others by their behavior and dealings. There are millions who know
specifically the number of the clause which deals with the various aspects of
public life but may not be abiding by them.
We consider all rules of constitution virtuous and honourable and well
meaning for the welfare of the citizens .
2. Do we honour all the virtuous rules and regulations
?If we break the honorable rules indiscriminately, we may as well break the
dishonouable rules which will destroy
our families and marriage relationships . We must take into consideration the
well being of our future generation .
We are so conscious of the
pollution of land, water, air and our neighbourhood and do everything to make
them clean and pristine. We make our personal life, family life, social life
and national life clean and pristine. Never do anything that will mar or
adulterate it . The very existence of the nation depends on the wellbeing of
family, the basic unit .If that strong
foundations disintegrate, we will have a chaotic nation. Who will take care of
neglected children, men and women, old and young . With all protection our
society is struggling to keep the nation in good condition.
3. Allowing goodness does not satisfy people. So
they break it. If dishonorable relationship and behavior are legalized, will
they dishonor them and keep to the virtuous path. The urge to do the opposite
sometimes overpower the people !! Therefore is it a “ test “ for the integrity
of men and women . Are we trying to prove that with or without law we can have
self restraint and be true to our families .
4. One day we hand out death penalty to
miscreants. Next day we honour them by legalizing those very same activities.
People will be confused. They may altogether refrain from it .
5 . Other countries also will be baffled by this
new rule because all over the world and among all religions , adultery is considered an immoral behavior .
Wherever it was prevalent, they have abandoned that practice. In some countries
they are lending out prisons for other countries because all prisons are empty
there . Nobody is committing any crime in those countries .
6. All laws by the government is for the
betterment of family and society .
7. Will the tears of men and women, mothers and
fathers and children will flow in our sacred land .
8. If the families break, we know what happens
in shelter homes, orphanages and senior citizens welfare homes. Therefore let
us keep our family safe and secure for all family members .
9. Any encroachment upon family is destroying
the very foundation of the nations . Let no pollutants malign this sacred
institution of family .

“ Somebody touched Me for I perceived power going out from Me “ Luke 8 :46

“ Somebody touched Me for I perceived
power going out from Me “
“ Somebody touched Me for I perceived
power going out from Me “
Luke 8 :46
We have all
experienced the power of “ touch “ .
The power of “
touch “ is determined by the attitude and concern or motive of the one who
touch and the one who is being touched.
How a child stop crying when the mother carry that
child. This affectionate touch is
experienced by both the mother and the child
.
How we scream when
some stranger try to touch us .
When an itchy worm or itchy plant leaf touch you, we
know the result . How the aftermath of that touch irritate us and we have to take
anti allergic medicine to stop the repercussions of that itchy touch . How much
more the itchy touches and “ looks “
trouble us for extremely strong durations and can even wreck our lives . The
stare and the touch which make us repulse . In the normal behaviour , there is perfect
smooth running of society. Any thing
abnormal produces abnormal consequences and diseases . The young girls who underwent
this unholy treatment in shelter homes and other places where parents felt secure that their children are safe , point
the accusing finger to the responsible citizens of all countries.
The comforting
touch and embrace of a dear friend takes away the pain and frustration where as
the same from a stranger make us retaliate with our full protective sense of armour to save ourselves
from unwanted situations . These
unethical behaviour usually happens in public places but if it happens in
churches and sacred holy pilgrimage places , it is the ultimate wickedness .
Then where is sacredness, where is sanctity .
Is there any difference between sacredness and adultery ? How the
splitting of the word into spelling has
deteriorated our sense of wholesomeness. Our ancient wisdom advocated to look
beyond the mundane to the meanings which lies behind the outward rituals, now
we do not even respect the outward ritual, we are desecrating our very lives. Someone
who is determined to destroy family and country put forward this theory of
meaningless relationship. The foundational
meaning, motive, inspiration ,
which holds the family unit that they can be building block to a healthy nation
.Once family disintegrate, children are orphaned, after each separation, more
and more children are orphaned and finally it will be a country of unwanted,
neglected orphans. W ho can be proud of
such a nation where irresponsible men
and women roam about without any purpose or motivation or moral standard. Can we provide healing touch, encouraging
touch, comforting touch, which will generate pride and magnificence in their
mind about themselves not the feeling of being trampled upon by the unwanted
touches .
“ When I consider Your heavens ,
and the work of
Your fingers
the moon and the
stars, which You have ordained,
What is man that You
are mindful of him,
And the son of man
that You visit him,
For You have made him a little lower
than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor .
You have made him
to have dominion over the works of Your hands
You have put all
things under his feet.
But now we are
struggling to keep our huge heritage. We cannot manage so vast resources and
when we use it we produce more effluences than the original pristine matter. We
have drained all bountiful rivers and lakes and
water bodies are polluted . How can we call it true stewardship. What happens to boys and girls who are
admitted to government as well as private schools in the full confidence of the
teachers and the management.
What happens when
we marry our girls to families in the full trust that she will consider them as
her family and that they will consider her as their family member . In north
India and south India , if we make a survey, what will be the result. Is it
because of lack of money ? Is it because
of lack if education ? Is it because lack of
hereditary lineage. How we touch the lives of billions of people in
public places as well as at home. Does
our power, mentally, physically, psychologically, financially, touch all lives wisely with concern and care .
Do we honor and value the eternal breath of the Eternal Spirit of God and the
body as the Temple in which the SPIRIT of Eternal God inhabit and dwells and empower us and lead us every
minute of our life. Once that Spirit of God leave our body, we are nothing. Do
we respect the God indwelling in us and
the temple of our body. How much care we take for the God made of clay, stone
and wood and the Temples in which we worship them and we call ourselves as Siva,
Ganesha, Vishnu, Saraswati, Lakshmi , Ganga, Mary, Elizabeth, or Rachel,
Rebecca, Jacob, Abraham, Daniel , Hanna etc . If only we could understand our own
divine nature , no wickedness would ever happen in our country . Who do the
people think they are ? They have the
qualities of their God / Goddess . So behave likewise . Be aware that we are
crowned with glory and honor. Never let
anyone take it away from you . We have
the power to heal, the power to comfort, the power to save others in their
difficult situations, power to empower them spiritually, emotionally , mentally
and intellectually. Let us use our resources for that purpose . No wicked behavior will be ever seen.

“ WHEN THE FOUNDATIONS ARE DESTROYED,
WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO . “ Psalm 11 :3
Without firm foundation, can anything stand upright.
The strength of
our back bone and the legs hold us upright. Any weakness, we will be lame or hunched over, bent and slanting , swinging
from side to side , never upright. The same is applicable to buildings,
relationships, family life, condition of government or society, or nation .
Therefore the
foundational principles, the Preamble, the Constitution, the Laws and
Regulations of the country and family should never give way to temporary
modifications to tide over or for personal benefits , especially at the leadership level upon
whom the whole population lay their trust
and stability. Any weakness will
be exploited immediately by those who are bent upon taking advantage of those
situations.
The righteous will try to maintain
their righteousness and justice based on
the foundational values. When evil
powers demonstrate their might, how the police sometimes become helpless, some
times they take side with them, sometimes, shooting and death and damage to
property and lives occur. How careful and watchful should the leadership be.
The leadership of the terrorists group
and the leadership of the righteous ,
who is better equipped, who search out the details for ensuring righteousness
and justice and peace or to implement terror !! How is the efficiency on either
side. Who empowers them . If only all join together for the betterment of
family, society and country ! It can be easily done. We all know the basic foundational
simple necessary things. If only we will concentrate on that . Do we have the
enthusiasm and the urgency of the founding fathers, the thrill of the first day
of freedom for the country , the elate spirit of listening to the National
Anthem for the first time in free India.
Keep that state of elation of free India, we can tide over can y adversity .

FISHERS OF MEN

FISHERS OF MEN
Mark 1:17 “ Then Jesus said to them,
I will make you become fishers of men .
In the recent flood havoc in Kerala and in
all places where there are
Floods, land slides, fire, cyclone, earth
quake etc there are a lot of people who
saved people even at the risk of their
own lives. We consider them truly brave
saviours of life. Any one who save
people from danger can be called fishers of men. There are people who endanger
the lives of others even while preaching
saving others in every way . There are people who commit murder and atrocities.
But all who save lives of people are fishers of men. If we save people from
wicked habits, and characteristics and qualities which are contrary to the
accepted mode of behaviour in society, which is against the harmonious virtuous
living of men, women, girls and boys, they are also fishers of men. All
teachers who guide their children in proper ways , are fishers of men. They
mould those children’s character and virtues , thereby they are moulding the character
of thousand of people whom they may not even see in their life, people of
different countries when these children move to foreign lands,. The impact is
so much that once you become fishers of men , the whole nation and countries will
taste the benefit of it. The world will be full of virtuous people. No body will
say to another , do the correct thing. All will be used to only virtuous things
!! How our behaviour impact other’s lives , knowingly or unknowingly is worth
studying and beyond imagination . We can all become fishers of men . The least
we can do is :
Do not harm anyone .
That saves their lives and life of all
their family members.
