Compassion

Today is Christmas! Jesus came to this world to spread the message of universal brotherhood,love and compassion to mankind. His teachings are as relevant today as they were 2000 years ago. What is required today is the revival of his message in spirit and sincerity.
His parting words," Forgive them O Lord for they know not what they doeth" show his limitless compassion for man. Forgiveness and tolerance were the essence of his teachings. I am not sure that man has become more tolerant than his ancestors. We still kill our brothers and sisters in the name of religion. Even innocent children are not spared!
Technology and particularly the Internet has made it possible today for people to communicate and interact with each other in a more effective way. The world has truly become a Global village. Unfortunately our mindsets are still primitive and barbaric.
This is truly the time to be heroic and take a leap into the unknown!www.searchforlight.org

2013

Another year has gone by! An year of wasted opportunities and valuable resources. The real problems which plague the world remain unresolved- poverty,hunger,malnutrition,disease,illiteracy,unemployment,women's empowerment and human unity.

The worlds leaders are too preoccupied with petty issues to tackle the complex issues facing mankind. Will this civilisation also end as a failure like the earlier ones or will humanity rise to the occasion and grow to a higher,nobler,beautiful,harmonious and a truer life? What is needed is a paradigm shift!

We have the technology,the resources and the capability to resolve the problems facing mankind within a short time-span. What is lacking is the willingness and the sincerity to identify the issues and come to terms with them.

Any further postponement to come to grips with the real issues will only spell a crisis-moral,spiritual,economic,environmental and ecological. It could even lead to a catastrophe the likes of which would be unimaginable.




Will 2013 be the year of change?
