SOME RELIGIOUS WORDS “ RELIGIOUSLY “ MISINTERPRETED

Even the most excellent  words , when misinterpreted can cause great harm

And that occurs every where  as we call “ loopholes “ and they take advantage of it . The true sense and value are lost and it mislead people . What we thought was sacred and valuable and precious is trampled by others who misinterpret them. No wonder , we are admonished to  “ Search the Scripture “ .

Constitution and Pre Amble also declares what is considered True  democratic values to be followed but they also get distorted . Since most of us do not know because we do not read them and understand them, we are taken for a ride .

1.     Prayer

In the Bible who offer prayer.

Whose prayers are answered ?

We have examples of the prayers of  Abel , Noah , Abraham , Isaac , Jacob , Joseph , Moses , Aaron , Joshua, Elijah , Elisha ,   Gideon , Samuel , Some kings, Daniel , shadrek , Meshak ,  Abednego ,  and some prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah , Joel , Amos, Habakkuk etc  What and how were the character of these people . They were saintly and so they offered prayer for themselves and for their country. They all acknowledged that there is some super power above them who could answer to  them and to the needs of themselves and the needs of their families and countries . They never saw, except Moses , How did they still believe ?  How did  they tasted and experienced the benefits in their lives.  Dr. Billy Graham , Dr. Albert Schweitzer  etc were men of prayers .  Therefore prayer is offered by saintly people for the welfare of others.  That is what the priests are also supposed to do since they are designated for that. Just as teachers and professors do their work designated work, just as doctors and nurses do their designated work, just as father and mother do their designated work etc . , once each little portion “ well done “ constitute the whole “ well done “ . We experience the result in medical advancement, in educational arena , in computer fields, in agricultural fields, in engineering fields, . In spiritual and religious fields what do we see . That determines the behaviour, character, words of the mouth, and actions at home, at work place, on the road, in factories , in trains, in buses , in auto, in planes in ship ..., in cultural activities and in government . Our lives are so dependent on each other for clothing, for food, for education, for protection , for healing , for entertainment and for travelling around the world .Like the assembly line , our food on the table passes so many stages from the agricultural field ,  to factories and packaging and whole sale and retail and our servants cook them and we consume them .  Our satellite launching also is familiar with so much  stages from different parts of the country and even from other countries. The more complex and more advanced the production and the product , it covers larger number of field areas and higher technology and highly skilled  manpower and sophisticated instruments and vehicles. For what we lack in knowledge or know how or instrumentation and technology , we ask others and exchange ideas and research developmental results and innovations . Thus we progress together . Thus everyone’s prayers and desires and dreams are answered and fulfilled . Those at higher realms of knowledge, wealth and wisdom can help on technical ways and higher spiritual realm leaders contribute their share by which the equilibrium of society is maintained and keep it peaceful which leads to prosperity. An “ unrest “ country or unrest neighbouring countries diminish and eat away all resources and the number of brave youth and their families and the economy goes down in this chain reaction . Since body obeys the commands of mind , thoughts and word that come from the thinking process of brain and mind , the sensitivity to all issues play a tremendous effect on the revealed actions we see everywhere. These are the manifestations of their thoughts and word and orders . How the country and the citizens benefit from such people where spirituality and political and welfare activities go hand  in hand , not out of coercion but out of caring nature for the people who work in all areas.

When children are healthy,  no classes are missed and since the government is providing food and other help , the studies as well as sports and cultural activates have improved. Since they are healthy, hospital and medical bills come down a lot . Therefore take more precautionary measures as hygiene and   protein healthy food habits, we can save all medical expenses and go for picnics or holidays or better living condition and more luxurious living .Spiritual awareness help them to contribute sincere faithful and loyal work in all areas when they grow up in this atmosphere at home and in schools .  They will think twice before doing any untoward activities . Consequently the police and defense personnel  will have their work  of beating and teargas administering reduced . A great relief for the  police personnel. They are also human beings . They do not want to do any thing bad but only maintenance of law and order. Let us help them to do it easily and in a calm way.

2.     CONFESSION OF FAITH

Confession of faith is done at the time of baptism, marriage, communion service ,  Confession is proclaiming allegiance to the faith and promise to abide by that faith . When  president ,Prime minister and other ministers and take the oath , they are confessing their  loyalty and allegiance and faithfulness during that entire period allotted to them . They are not to break it half way through .

When we sign to declare the allegiance to the institution to work there , we are promising that the faithfulness will be through the entire period , not half way through . The garment in which they do take the oath and then coming to the office in different attires , in different colour , western or Indian , Indian itself in different varieties and fashions do not diminish the power, responsibility and  character and quality of the designation allotted to them.  Otherwise every designation will have a uniform like school children  .

3.     IMMORTAL

Mr. Alfred Nobel, Dr, Marie Curie, Dr. Alexander Flemming ,  Gandhiji,  Buddha Sardar Patel, Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru , Mother Theresa etc are immortal beings who live in  memory for thousands of years . Their work speaks for them. Their ideals and discoveries and inventions we practice in our day to day lives . How can we forget them. When we consider them immortal. That does not mean they committed immorality. The modern trend seems that if Christ is immortal,  he is immoral. If any person has to become or if someone else  want to make somebody immortal, they have to commit immorality on behalf of that person and dump it on him or her !!!!!!!! Did Mother Theresa or Sr, Alphonsa commit immorality ? How can educated, sophisticated people manipulate such saintly people. The only reason is that they are dying to commit it themselves and they want to spread this immorality and destroy the society and country and countries .             WHO CAN PREVENT IT ?

Who is leading such movement ??????
