Guest guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Dear All, I read this on the web. My thanks to Anthony De Mello. To me this represents that a sinner is merely one who does not what he/she is doing and it brings to my mind Jesus' beautiful phrase "Father forgive them, they know not what they do". JAI MAA ! JAI GURU ! JAI JESUS ! Love Latha =========================== One of the disconcerting ~ and delightful ~ teachings of the Master was: "God is closer to sinners than to saints." This is how he explained it: "God in heaven holds each person by a string. When you sin, you cut the string. Then God ties it up again, making a knot and thereby bringing you a little closer to him. Again and again your sins cut the string and with each further knot God keeps drawing you closer and closer." ====================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
