As usual a very beautiful and and much needed post by Lata, I would like to share something which i read long back. Its a bit long, but worth reading.
When a child who is hungry and thirsty,
Cries out in great pain
'Allah, be merciful, send me some water,
Send me some grain. '
Does the great Jehovah turn away in disdain?
When a child cries out in anguish
In the cold and bitter dark of night,
'Jehovah take pity, send me some blankets
And an Angel for light.'
Does the great Allah, turn away from his plight,
Just because the name just wasn't quite right?
When a child cries out from the slums of this world,
'Dear Jesus, save me, I am alone and I am weak.'
Do the great lords, Brahma and Vishnu, say,
'Sorry, whom did you say you seek,
No, nobody of that name here,
Perhaps you should try again later,
Maybe next week.'
When a child cries out on the long and weary track,
'Brahma, Vishnu, Lords!
I am lost and in the wilderness
And can't find my way back,
Give me direction Lords, to show me the road,
Lighten my burdens Great Lords,
Lighten my load.'
Does the great Lord Jesus,
The Blessed Saviour of mankind, say
'Well, I would really, really like to help you child
But the problem is, you see,
You are un-baptised
And by the way that you speak, it is obvious to me,
That you are not one of mine.
So after careful consideration, I feel I must in these circumstances,
You understand, most respectfully decline.'
Isn't the great and powerful God of the Universe
Above all of this!
He hears the widow and the orphans in their plight,
Whether they are
MUSLIM, JEW, HINDU, CHRISTIAN
YELLOW, RED, BLACK OR WHITE
No matter the address given
And even if the name
Just wasn't quite right.
This is exactly what is going on in the world right now. Selfish people drooling to rule the world trying to spread mass terror and killing innocents in the names of religion. Lets all of us join hands, get united and am sure our strength, courange, and feeling for each other will spread so much love that one day these powerful bombs and acts of terrorism will fade in the light of peace.
