Can you define life in the dimension of divine love?



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.
