So always treat others...............
“So always treat others, as you would like them to treat you”. [Mt: 7:12]
Here Jesus shows a way to live our life more meaningfully. Most of us want to lead a peaceful life; it is threatened only when the rhythm of our life goes wrong, there we loose our peace and joy of life. Here the cause for our problem is often the other and here the other becomes a hell for me. I am not able to love and respect the other. Man is called to be a social being and he has to lead a life in relation with the other but the base of our relation becomes a kind of formality and acting because he is not interested in the relation and the good of the other but since he is in need of his assistance man is acting as if he or she likes to make relationship with the other. Here there is no matter of genuine love but something hypocrisy or double face. Man is always in search of his own interests and pleasures in this attempt he forgets the other his neighbor. Here we can see ourselves as the part takers of Kurukshetra war in the Maha Bharatha, where the brothers are fighting for their authority and power they destroy each other. They forget every thing, their relation and friendship all become enemy to each other. They never think of helping each other but destroying. We are brothers in cxhrist and thus the sons of God but forgetting the facts we fight each other for our own selfishness and existence, other becomes a hell for me. No sharing no consideration but only myself.
Here we have to remember the teachings of jesus, he says to do to others as you would like them to do to you, he is asking us to see the other as the part of me and thus to make a good relation. Here he reminds the importance of the other, God created the entire Universe and we are the responsible for it, so in that way we are responsible for each other, so we have to help each other. It is not mere myself but the other also important.
As we are in this Lenten time let us give time to think about our life, am I living a life that is proper to the teachings of Christ, Christ denied himself and lived for the others thus he lived his life and the life of the others more meaningful. The baptism and the very call to lead a religious life make me another Christ and to live my life more meaningfully and fruitfully. If I am only bothered of me I will not be able to lead my life fully it will be only a half life an un completed life, because my life finds it’s fullness through the other and when one is able to accept the other he will be able to fulfill his life and thus the will of the Father who says to love your neighbor as your self. So this is the time to think and to change us for the betterment of our life.
“Let us live joyfully and let others to live joyfully”. God has given all the possibility for our better life and let us help each other and let us share each other thus let us bring the reign of God on the Earth. Let the doors of our hearts be opened for all and let us embrace each other with great love of God. Let us bend the knees of our hearts and bring a change within us and make our life a gift for the other.
Let us share and love each other. Mahatma Gandhi says God has given us sufficient for all but not sufficient for our greed…………so let us be generous and magnanimous in giving and helping those who are less privileged and left alone in the life…
