Dear Thierry,
I don't even want to pretend that I'm self-righteous. I'm a sinner, totally depraved like all human beings needing my Savior and my Lord Jesus Christ all the time. I don't understand deep thinking and philosophy...all I know is I'm saved by the blood of Jesus who died for my sins. All I wanted to tell my friends here is, to understand that GOD is Holy, righteous,loving,faithful....everything good and perfect, which none of us are and we can't be meditating and rationalizing ourselves by this one attribute that it is all love. We can't even begin to think of Agape (unconditional) love, like Jesus Christ...not one human being can! I'm praying that people understand the Truth, read the bible like a child and accept Christ for what He is! Love to all :)
In Him,
rajeev

Meditating like Christ is not just being in a state of unconditional love (Agape love), though that might be one attribute of GOD. Jesus Christ prayed to GOD, the Father and taught us to pray that way. He is the Word of GOD, Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. He meditated on GOD's Word. New age thinkers and modern day gurus pick and choose what they like from the attributes of GOD. Often enough, the context is lost. Read the bible in it's entirety and believe that Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins and He is risen and lives. I challenge all of you modern day thinkers to humble yourself to someone who just didn't speak the truth but said, I'm the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father except through me.
In Christ,
rajeev
In Christ,

You can live by the 7 principles from the latest best seller or the 3 fold path or the 8 fold path or 5 pillars or the 10 commandments but it is not really about living. Is it? It is about LIFE.
On Mar 13, 2007 Rajeev Muralidharan wrote on Witnessing: A Form of Compassion, by James O'dea:
When I see the wise and learned, the philosophers who grapple with the simple, a verse from the bible comes to mind.
"I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants". Jesus talking to an unbelieving generation.
The witness is the Holy Spirit and it is He who convicts you and witnesses to the Fruits of the Spirit. Compassion being one of the fruits.
God Bless us All!

Nice thought :-)
My hope is in my Abba, heavenly father and for His will to be done in my life from this side of eternity to the other.
God Bless us All!

Viral,
Read through your thoughts and it mostly dealt with being selfless. I think there are 2 selfless acts that God has done and which we human beings cannot emulate.
1. Creation
2. Dying for the sinS of mankind.
The concept is old, as old as the beginings of the Universe, as we know it. Acknowledging this brings one to Grace that none of our selfless duties can ever come close...
Just a thought...thanks for both Nipun's and your ideas.
On one of your meditation sessions, can you try meditating on this verse from the Bible...
Isiah 53:5
But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His wounds we are healed.

Love and Prayers for Nipun, you and your group of friends who make the Internet such a joy!

"the mind being an excellent servant but a terrible master."
This is an excellent point. That said, so who is the Master. It none other than God Almighty...the Holy Spirit.
Let us make ourselves(body, soul and spirit) slaves to the Spirit of God.
We're ont his side of eternity and we'll have to be masters of our thoughts and body.
I enjoy that freedom and joy through my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

Pursuing happiness makes one a prisoner of happenings/circumstances. Joy and Freedom comes from first seeking the Kingdom of God.

Awesome...l don't see it as ever Me doing it alone. I might be the stream but if I have to flow eternally then I give the burden to the Almighty God.
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him. - John 7:37-38.

It is an exercise in futility to debate/argue with a creation that thinks it can be the Creator. Moments of silence...fleeting moments of peace, calm, happiness here in this world are not divine. For man/woman to be GOD, the Creator (one with Him/divinity) is still the sin that the adversary so skillfully traps us all in (hasn't changed much form the garden of Eden :)). I would rather pray in love for all my friends here, to know Jesus Christ, his life, death and resurrection...pray that He reveals himself to all on here. With much love (very conditional...indeed :))
In Christ,
rajeev
