Crying out for the mercy of God

“G u r u m u k h a p a d m a v a k y a"

 

Crying out for the mercy of God Lord Jesus was preaching this message (to love God), he was not preaching a sectarian dogmatic concept but the universal principle of love of God. Now there were a class of men of that time called the feracies who were the most pious, the most externally religious. They knew the scriptures very well, they knew the rituals perfectly, they knew the tradition expertly, but they were proud of their spiritual position and because of their pride, they considered themselves very healthy spiritually. And thus they never learnt the art of falling at the feet of God and the holy men. So these feracies once invited Lord Jesus to their house to take some food and while he was there, a very low class ostracized prostitute; she came to the door and these men, these priest said that you cannot come in our home, you are a low class prostitute, you are an out-caste, you will contaminate our house if you will come in. And Jesus told her to come in because he saw that she had a sincere heart and she fell at Lord Jesus Christ feet and she began to cry and with her hair, she soaked her hair with tears and began to wash his feet with her tears and the priest were thinking what is this so called holy man allowing this low class women to touch him and they began to condemn him. And he turned towards them and explained, as suffering as she is, as sinful as she is, she is genuinely repentant and crying out for the mercy of God. She is crying out for my help but you men, you are not crying out, Jesus was indirectly telling them you should become like this prostitute because this prostitute understood that she was suffering, she was totally rejected, she knew she was sinful and in her heart she was crying out because she understood the gravity of her sins, the gravity of her offenses and she had no one and nobody to turn to and accept her except God. Because of this approach she became one of the greatest saints in Christian histories, Mary Magdalene. She gave up her prostitution; she developed a pure life because she called out for the higher power of the mercy of God. She overcame all her obstacles whereas these high priests they just went on through their life with all their pride thinking themselves very good, very religious, very pious, never understanding what is religion, what is the goal of life.
