Merry Christmas – The Joyous Celebration

December 25, 2013

The birth of Lord Jesus is celebrated with joy and greetings augmenting festive season.

Christmas message to the world is to exemplify appreciation of Lord Jesus sacrifice in deeds with care and compassion towards those experiencing immense suffering due to lack of political freedom, economic disparity and social injustice.

The existing system denying vast majority basic rights and necessities is premised on false sense of security upholding contradictory principles in the quest for indefinite authority.

Human values on the decline with self-interest prioritized over national and mass benefit. 

The misuse of power targeting innocent lives legitimizes offense with preference for violence through relentless warfare, terrorism and other atrocities rejecting peace at every opportunity.

Sins committed in life burden soul with guilt and the absence of recognition, remorse and reform deprive individuals from redemption subscribing to endless ordeal that could be averted via introspection and involvement leading to self-purification. 

The real freedom guaranteed upon reining control on common trait – the negativities that overwhelm character.

Furthermore, identifying the enemy within viz. the self  prior to preoccupation in pursuit of perceived rivals would ease unnecessary tensions and enmity causing internal turmoil.

Similarly violation of trust is betrayal of own conscience witness to thoughts and actions resulting in debt accumulation to be settled to qualify for soul liberation i.e. to rest in eternal peace.

The development of acrimony, prejudice and malice is self-destructive and bear consequences affecting the source more than the victim.

Hence directing human mind in enhancing positive attributes and renouncing malignant qualities would constitute self-cleansing important for healthy living and peaceful co-existence.

The constant practice to endanger lives harboring ill-feelings disease the body and corrupt mental process creating confusion and delusional status.

Human conduct espousing empathy, respect and cordial relations replacing prevalent and persistent apathy and discord would alleviate plight on personal and communal account.

The enormous power and wealth is meaningless and defeats the purpose in life when expended in promoting individual aspirations with satisfaction derived from others misery.

Life is a learning center providing means for atonement and refinement.  The inner peace emanating from purity facilitates clarity preventing disruption in balanced functionality.

The decision to deviate from counterproductive course and engagement for universal good could be the preliminary step in self-emancipation.

Lord Jesus extraordinary benevolence throughout presence on earth until crucifixion and after signify Almighty God’s will in all matter.

Rejoicing the auspicious occasion of Christmas in Jesus Christ remembrance could be demonstrated in acceptance of Lord’s teachings comprising simple and profound instructions elevating human spirit from darkness to brightness in the arduous journey confronted with trial and tribulation to test endurance and perseverance – the crucial characteristics to overcome strife in life. 

The best tribute to divinity is altruism in serving mankind and protecting environment from continuous threats and abuse reflective in seeking economic and political dominance.

Global citizens solidarity transcending barriers in acknowledgment of identity as member of human family extending consideration for all living beings could remove obstacles on the path of pervasive progress.

Again collective responsibility would deliver success in sharing equitable happiness amongst all. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Peace to all!

Thank you.
