Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Good Day Brothers and Sisters, Its Monday, 13th October 2008 The Navratri festival has concluded and the Heart now looks forward to Diwali for both hope and faith Hope that the current ecnomic scenario will turn for the better and faith to keep moving One gets a feel of the current generations focus on traditional activities and festivals from the deluge of mails pertaining to these celebrations .... Which brings me to today's topic ... The wearing of your Faith as an adornment ... That more than anything seems to be the mantra or the underlying idea behind the newfouind love for religion and all things traditional ... Its not so much the belief in a particular system of Faith as much as the identity and sense of belonging it provides .. For a society increasingly becoming rootless due to "liberating" and "open mindedness", the cost is being paid at the level of the psyche ... Migration within and outside the nation is a fact and increasingly becoming a necessity of contemporary life ... In no other time in history was travelling and migrating so easy and so necessary as it is today .... And in no other time in history has progress occurred at such a devastating pace as it is occuring today .... The price demanded of such a change is generally paid by merging into the greater majority and losing ones roots identity in the process .... The desire is to stand out but the need is to blend in And in this lies our unique agony as humans ... Lest the above appear to be a hopeless situation, rest assured the solution is sometimes too simple that it is quite naturally overlooked .... FAITH The evidence of things not seen the holding onto hope where none exists Faith demands a testimony ... Faith demands patience .... Faith after all SAVES How does one hold on to faith ?? How does one acquire Faith?? can it be acquired or is it a case of Either having it or not??? Those above are questions that one needs to find for oneself ... for there are no fixed or standard answers where faith is concerned For Faith knows and follows no Law After all, through Law sin came into the world But through Faith it is overcome .... PRAYER A Heartfelt crying out to the Lord be ye a Hindu, A Muslim, A Christian ... A heartfelt Prayer can force Divinity to come to your aid ... A heartfelt prayer and call can not be made without BELIEF Belief + Prayer = FAITH Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that ye have received it , and it will be yours (Mark 11:24-25) So, for now, lets CARPE DIEM Seize the Day and make it our own ....
