Towards A Pilgrimage:
A caravan of devotees, in hundred cars, was heading towards a pilgrimage. On the way, in the middle of a quiet jungle, a motorcyclist was unexpectedly involved in an accident, falling on the other side of the road. Severely injured and seeking water, he struggled for his life. None of the cars in the caravan stopped to assist him. However, a couple at the rear of the caravan immediately stopped upon seeing the injured motorcyclist, helped him with water, bandage to stop bleeding, and waited until the ambulance arrived.
Real Pilgrimage:
As they got back into their car, the couple shared a knowing glance. 'This is the true pilgrimage,' they said, 'we've seen God seeking help.' They recalled the biblical verse (Matthew 25:40): 'The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."'With renewed conviction, they drove slowly, discussing, 'Although we're at the rear of the caravan, we were first to meet the Lord in need.' One of them wondered, 'Do you think others see the Lord at pilgrimage?' Continuing, they pondered, 'God is omnipresent and longs to be seen by all. Do we truly see Him? If we can't see Him in need, how can we expect to see Him at pilgrimage?' Their words hung in the air, a gentle reminder to look beyond the surface. They lost themselves in the love of God, when they stopped, they found they were back to their home.
A Universal Goal:
If global leaders, officials, and servants of humanity recognized the Divine in those in need, worldwide struggles would plummet. As fellow pilgrims, let's serve the needy throughout our lives – every step, every day, every chance.
A Sincere Prayer:
May in every soul, a spark divine,
May leaders serve, and troubles decline.
May as pilgrims, we'll walk hand in hand,
May we serve the needy, across this land.
Therefore, let's awaken the poet within,
To see the Divine in every soul's kin.
For this precious life, let's seize the chance,
To serve humanity, and enhance.
With Golden Opportunities
May our hearts beat with compassion's fire,
May our hands extend with love's desire.
May our voices whisper hope and peace,
May our lives reflect humanity's release.
Amen!
Praise be to God, Thanks be to God.
Not being Unrighteous is Religion!!
India! Peace be upon you!!
Peace to the whole world!!
