On awareness, relationship , career and the environment

Every act, good or bad, leaves an effect, positive or negative, on us, on our neighbour, on our environment (quote me). Every act of goodness has an infinite merit and every act 'badness' is false, and would seize one day. Goodness lasts, it is the truth! Now the sole goodness is Christ and the summary of goodness is His death on the cross (Greater love hath no man…) which is made present everyday at Mass! Now it is through this sole goodness that brings all creation- man or beast or plant- into oneness, into unity (and when I am lifted on high, I will draw all things to myself). On this basis, it is said ‘send forth thy spirit and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth’. It is His Spirit, through the work of Calvary that renews. Any goodness and act of sacrifice (which finds its summary in Mass anyway) has a consequential effect, upon our awareness (depending on faith) upon our neighbour and our good relationship (depending on love), and on our environment which is the bulk of our career, or the idea we have to make the world a better place. As ‘charity begins at home’ has an impact on relationship, ‘cleanliness is next to Godliness’ has an impact on the environment. These are all spiritual works that is what I am trying to say, the bulk of our existence depends on our level of spiritual growth. Most careers are aimed at fostering the growth of the environment, and we cannot achieve success without first deepening our spiritual lives and improving our human relationships. I am an Engineer by profession; I have seen I can not be fulfilled solely with physical sciences (i.e. dealing solely on environment). For long I delved into social sciences too (dealing with people and relationships), yet I have seen that the starting point has to do with behavioural sciences (my personal awareness). If I can master this, I can hope to really impact the world on other aspects. I’ve seen, the bulk of our existence is this: Our Awareness, Relationship and Career!

Real Miracles

We would like to work miracles. But the real miracle of this age and indeed of every age is every act of kindness, every act of love and charity to my neighbour, we need not seek any supernatural miracle, Christ’s whole lot of miracle is an act of charity, it costs Him something .
