Jesus knew that once his people find their purpose and know that - TopicsExpress

Jesus knew that once his people find their purpose and know that they are “Light” they will shine on others, giving Light to those who are in darkness. Thus these “light workers” will bring Truth to the masses. We can see an amazing parallel in the Yogic Scriptures too about the same. The Katha Upanishad says “uttishtha jagrata, prapya varan nibodhata” means Arise, Awake, find your True Self and Live up to the Vows of Wisdom. In fact Just as in Gospel of Matthew , in the final verse of Book XVI of Bhagavad Gita, Krishna makes his stand on and commitment to working for the well-being of the world (lokasamgraha) perfectly, patently clear. Krishna tells his friend Arjuna that he should perform actions (karma) and work here in this world. Working for the well-being of the world (lokasamgraha) is Arjuna’s duty, his Dharma. This kind of work is to be rooted in firstly knowing our purpose and then working with energy and zest towards living up to that purpose. Lesson for us - This Christmas let us resolve to find some clarity about our “purpose” in life. Let us come closer to the LIGHT that we are and let us vow to reach out to those who need us and to give and share whatever little we know. Merry Christmas Prasad Rangnekar. Thanks for words of wisdom and love Prasadji.
