5th Sunday of Easter Load Shedding

 

Look at the pen stand on your table; Old pens that don't write anymore and Pens that you don't use anymore! but, they are all there!  They are a burden to the stand and you!  Look at your table, room, home, and your vicinity!  You will find many useless things but don't feel like giving them up.  Books, old cell phones,  old laptops, clothes, shoes, and whatnot that you don't need anymore.  They get accumulated!  Your beautiful room is like a dark room where you dumb things!  A little garbage bin!

Get rid of them and create space where you can freely move around!

Throwing them away is certainly good for you but if you can combine it with "Giving it away" (to someone in need) is much better.

Similarly, the Mind is filled with thoughts, prejudices, and worries that curtails your happiness!  A hurting word by someone is dead and gone but your mind needs it to torment you!  An incident is no more alive but your mind entertains it to keep you strangled under it.

Your ego is such a poor guy that it cannot say sorry!  It cannot forgo things!  It cannot say "I misunderstood"!  Therefore, you hoard things against so many!  You take in more than what you can chew!  You stick to ideologies that are irrelevant! You get entangled in certain religious beliefs! you get into the morass of prejudices!

You have such beautiful wings with which you can fly around and enjoy the breadth and width of the sky!  But you are stuck to the slush!

Pruning is a must for growth and harvest!

As the pruned leaves and branches become good manure for the plants, similarly that which you have shred will enhance your growth!

Face criticisms and Address issues!  There is no use postponing!  It is better to lose the branches than the whole tree!  Pain can be very constructive if you can properly address it.

We are in the midst of the Covid crisis!  Again, Don't Panic and Don't postpone!  If you have symptoms attend to it immediately.  It will save time, energy, health, money,  family, and your life.  On the other hand, if you panic, you will sink quickly!

15th Sunday Better, Smile!

Better smile!  How did you behave when you were distributing to the 5000 plus gathering?   Were you selfish or generous?   Were you feeling ...
