People try to find out the Laws and Principles of life in order to gain an advantage.
This is merely selfishness.
It is not spirituality at all.
To do the right thing regardless of the consequences is closer to the truth.
Jesus was crucified for testifying to the truth.
The prophets were persecuted and killed.
J.F.K. was shot for trying to implement ideals.
Martin Luther King was shot for daring to demand civil rights for black people.
Robert Kennedy was shot for his ideals and vision.
Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated for freeing India.
Anwar Sadat was assassinated for daring to bring peace.
This can happen if you climb to the mountain top.
There is no reward for good deeds and punishment for bad deeds.
People act out of free will.
There are no Laws or Principles.
Only the presence or absence of Love.
My only comment here is what about the women of the world? We too have given our hearts, our lives and our bodies in order to try to testify to the truth...it just makes me feel a little sad that we don't have their names and that they are not spoken of with the men...
ReplyDeleteDear Joy,
DeleteThanks for reminding me!
I could have included Benazir Bhutto or even Joan of Arc.
History has not been fair to women.
I sometimes use He for God out of desperation.
See my post He August 2012.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
