Yes I do think a lot, Think of the people and their behaviour, I assume, I imagine, and I ponder over many things that go around. Some people ask me why I do assume? I wonder is there any sphere of life that we go forward without assuming , Assumption is part of life. you can not avoid it. It happens in our life without our intention. We share assumptions, but we should not come to conclusions, the whole world is swirling around assumptions. Colmbus started his great journey to discover India , asuming that it was in one place, but his assumption was wrong for a while, he learning from his mistakes, he went round and round, in his process, he found Cape of Hope at the tip of Africa, at last he could achieve his dream. Yes dreams are having its foundation on assumptions. And dreams become aims.And these aims become goals,when goal setting is an art, a skill, and to reach those goals is a strife, a risk, and without this struggle of life you will not have life. A life of living. One day when you try to make them true, they are really there.
Skeptics question me, why should we be so interested in life , we have life after this life, why should not be more interested in that life instead of wasting my life on the things of these assumptions. I do answer them, unless you really want to live in this life and be interested in this life and people God loved so much , you can not prepare for the life after. I wonder if you are not interested in the people and their behaviour, how can you understand their sorrows, thier dreams, the picture of their souls? If you do not know their life pattern , how can pray for them? How can you give the word of God to them, and prepare them for the life after along with you? Isaih says, unless there is some one to preach how can the good news will reach them. These cynics are self centered people, they cannot accept the shortcomings of their lives, instead they like to rub their wrong perception of life on people who try to be SOCIAL and JOVIAL and INTERESTED and ENJOY to be with people around.
When you have something worthwhile in your soul, when you really enjoying something in your life you like to share it with others.
My dad often used to call me to his dining table while he was eating. He wants to share the yummy piece of mutton which was on his platter. He , instead of eating it by himself, he wanted to share it with me whom he loved the most. I used to enjoy this bit of life very much, its not piece of mutton that matters here, its the SHARING of best things of life with my dear dad. It bounds our love, our relationship .. our intimacy .. our appreciation of life together.
It means, it does not give a portrait of me as a selfish one not my dad as a sacrificial one.
we are two beings who love one another, and wants to build a relationship of love.
And see even now I can not forget that little gesture of love of my dad? People tend to forget good things of life, things that they received from their parents too,leave alone the other people in their life. Its all in your introspection.
I tell you this introspect-ions occur only when you achieve superannuation of your thought level. Its the main foundation of higher level of thinking. Remember only a man thinks and introspects; not the animals or any creation of God.
After the conversion of my dad at the age of 57 years, one day he asked me, 'How do you think that worms come into the glass of pure water, when you keep it aside for a while? Even when it is well closed with a tight lid?'
It look like a simple question, I tried to answer him saying God created whole world etc etc, but I can not satisfy him , nor I do know the answer till two days back.
I was listening to a good message of God, along with my son and my another son(-in-law)
I liked the way the preacher explained things like this.." God created something out of nothing, like the light, darkness, waters, and earth etc. He later SPOKE to earth and waters to bring forth animals, plants, birds, and fish. They were there because He spoke to earth and waters, to bring forth animals plants and birds out of them. But when he wanted a man , He spoke to HIMSELF. He introspected, and brougt forth the man in HIS image He spoke to HIMSELF. He gave HIS life to the man by breathing into him, He sustained him, and He will take him back to HIM. The man was formed out of dirt, but he is of God, the breath of God is in him. '
Well, after all when we come into this world and live in this world, we breath inside and breath outside, inhale and exhale, we do it unconsciously we feel His presence unconsciously all the time , whether you are awake or deep in slumber. Breathing is God's way of His living within the man. And when we die we take a deep breath and give away a great exhale. Thus the soul of God leaves us.we will not have even the breath with us. It is God's. only that was taken out of dirt will go back to dirt. Wonderful of the simple interpretation of Ecclesiastes 12:1-7 Then man's dust will Go back to the earth returning to what it was and the dust return into its earth, from whence it was, and the spirit return to its Creator.
God introspects, He talks to Himself, and so He created us in His image, Man need to introspect as much as he could so much is his emancipation, self actualization.
whence it was, and the spirit return to ... 12:1-7
