appreciation of christian service <zoom to ultra-wide-angle -- ALERT!!_

[Guest guest]

Asha ji,

 

Once I was in communication with someone who was adopted very young

and did not know what religion or background he came from and by the

time he learned that it was too late.

 

That person had no clue that though brought up in a 'hindu' -

rationalistic background (not quite atheistic, mind you!)there was no

sense of alliance to a particular religion, I mean he could have been

any of the many religions, biologically!

 

Leaving aside the very few mahapurushas and trikalagnas amongst us,

most of us are really in that very same boat!

 

We do not know how long we have been hindus, muslims or whatever

other religion the earth supports. One, five, fifty lifetimes? And is

it something we know and remember or just wishful thinking based on

some writing or something else?

 

At least you are blessed to have actually experienced the truths of a

couple of prevailing religions and hence have DIRECT experience to

speak from!

 

Rejoice in your being provided these experiences. And do not be

discouraged that you may never be able to transfer that direct

experience to another individual!

 

Yours is to "tell" as it is, and not to 'make it happen'!
