Can you define
life in the dimension of divine love?
Jesus advocates for the above idealism and added
a dimension to life by incorporating the divine love and kindness. He expressed that what we do, we think and we
utter must be based on this love and kindness. Mostly, we say that we are
afraid of God and Jesus substituted this theory. He opined that we must be
God-loving and embrace upon the religious practices showing spontaneous kindness to human
being. He professed that “The Kingdom of
God is within you.” It is possible to
wash your sins with the water of divine love and you can do this once you come
out of the spiritual ignorance. A woman was once brought to Jesus as she
committed a sin of adultery. As per
Moses law, she was to be stoned to death.
When time came for the final verdict of Jesus, all know that he will
show his compassion, sympathy and kindness and so, he said to the assembled
people that who had not committed any sin in his life so far; let him cast the
first stone. The crowd disappeared
immediately. The frightened woman was
surprised and very submissively inquired of Jesus, “Why have you saved my
life? I deserve punishment for being a
sinner.” Jesus very kindly said, “Go and
sin no more.” The whole idea behind this
message is to forget the past and move forward. Don’t punish the sinner, but
condemn the sin, so that the victim can be taught not to do any more sin. Because before anyone becomes a saint, he had
a past, which might not be very glorious always. Accordingly, every sinner has a future.
Another story of Jesus recounted as once a devotee
came to Jesus’s birth place to meet him and expressed his devotion. He pleaded
with Jesus that he had brought some gift for him. Against Jesus’s query about
the gift, the devotee uttered, “I have brought my whole heart to give you.”
Jesus said, “Very good. But won’t you
give me something more?” The devotee was puzzled and said that I would give you
everything whatever you call from me.
Jesus said, “Excellent. But can’t
you give me something more?” The man was puzzled again. Jesus then smiled and
said, “Why don’t you give me your sins as your Christmas gift?” The devotee
asked, “What will you do with my sins?” Jesus then said to his devotee, “I will
forgive them all and relieve you from the burden of sins, so that you may not
look back and move forward.” In the same
way, if you are able to forgive a sinner and allow him to rectify his sins, it
may be possible for him to become an ideal man in the near future. Our society has a tenacity to condemn anyone
at a drop of the hat and humiliate him so much that instead of making changes
in his behavioral pattern, he is provoked to do more sins. In this way, he
becomes a notorious person.
Jesus committed his divine power when people put him
on the cross and humiliated. He was
tortured and crucified to spread religious sermons and spiritual wisdom. When a few portions of naughty people were
more than fanatical to hammer the nail on the crucifixion, Jesus was profusely
bleeding, but with his all kindness on
his face, uttered, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they
do.” His only commandment was to show His
unconditioned love for God with all His courage, mental and physical strength,
heart, mind and soul. His urge to show
love for neighbors and entire humanity was an example of his divine power. In this way, He spread His religious and
spiritual wisdom and He extended His whole life to serve the mankind. As a universal prophet, Jesus vehemently
advocated for the essence of spirituality for practice by all beyond any
sectarian rituals. From His deep bonding
for love and affection for all the human beings, He set an example of His
oneness with the absolute and He said, “I am the light.” He gave a call to all
the seekers, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest and ye shall find rest into your souls.”
Like Jesus, we also can take the similar approach
to express our unconditional love to all our associates, including neighbors,
colleagues, acquaintances and any human being with the power of divinity. If we can perform this activity, we can
evaluate our lives in a new dimension and lead the same more effectively.
