THOUGHTS TO PONDER

“My dear Brethren and Sistren,

I am happy to note that a new wave of moral consciousness is upon us again, a resurgence of that desire to live by the tenets that I have taught you again and again.

Majority of you are now into the intricate path of ferreting out what is right and what is wrong about governance. You are now sincerely thinking and acting in a manner which will make every ruler in our country sensitive to all of your needs.

Truly, I am more than happy to know and see this because in the past, I had to help lead you to confront the issues of the day, to tell you to go to this and that place if only to make your presence felt at the most crucial moments of transition in our country, from one-man rule to that democratic system where everybody will have a voice and that voice be heard to the highest rungs of rulership.

It matters less that a government functionary had malversed the funds, had amassed wealth behind the scenes, connived with certain corrupt powers themselves. What matters most is that our minds are awakened to the reality of acting against all of these that run counter to our Christian beliefs.

No matter what they have done, they will receive judgment upon their twilight years. Those rulers who led the people to moral degeneration shall receive my wrath upon their transit to the other life – and who knows what other soul shall envelop them – the soul of an animal, a python, or any other hideous being deserving of hell.

Yes, I fully uphold your being immersed in this exercise of weeding out the negative from the positive elements in our system. It is high time that you have done so. But more importantly, you are performing a noble role now because it is getting imbedded in your consciousness as well that every individual counts in our society and whatsoever you have done to the least of them in my name and the name of all the Gods and Goddesses in the universe you have done so to me.

Let Christianity ring and all believers embrace everyone in the name of Jesus. Let Buddhism shine its lights upon us. Let Islam be the waving flag and beacon light in the Muslim world to stop all acts that kill life, that inhibit the free expression of all. Let all moral truths descend upon us, regardless of religion.

For only in this instance will that breath of life be most meaningful for all of us.

So be it.”

Dear Folks, what do the departed moralists of our society think now that we are going through this trial of the highest magistrate of the land who is now cast in all kinds of doubts as to his moral capacity to lead that search for truth?

I have written the above to show that those who led us before are still watching us and are now more enlightened ever and happy to see us working together to show to ourselves that we are capable of setting up standards as to who and what kind of people should lead us. No, we are no longer timid lambs who would follow every order and command that would only throw us into the pits of darkness and ignominy. Instead we have become beings with that third eye to see the souls of everyone and foresee the consequences of every action.

How I wish I had heard better speeches at the pulpit denouncing in clearest terms what are transgressions in moral governance. Instead we hear only the bitterest of thoughts about women using contraceptives. How narrow indeed. What charlatans.

Is not being materialistic a bigger crime than women taking and controlling our bodies – making sure that we have healthy bodies to carry lives in our wombs, and that we can assure every babe that comes into this world a safe, healthy and vigorous existence?

Ah, the road is still long for us to tread and then know for ourselves, our own morality so that every time we look at each other, we know we are seeing God in everyone – that each one is capable of doing good to each other so that that breath of life in every living being shall be regarded more and most meaningfully. 

May the hands of all Gods and Goddesses guide us always.
