Thought of the week

High lights:
(1)U carry out action expecting an output!. So you have reason to do such action. Then why do you brought up your child?(A) B'cause he will look after you,when you are old?or(B)because child has been given by God,out of love to God,you love your child?.
(2)If your answer is above A, bringing up a child,is there any difference to normal business activity? Profitability!
(3)When you are bringing child with love of God, will God look after your happiness, independent to child's action?
(4)When U carry out actions,with good reason,forgetting God,will your happiness guaranteed?.
(5)Do you have reasons,why Jesus was risen from death?,why God has not given all laws
that has to be followed,in writing?,why church has to be organized to know about God and develop faith on HIM?
(6)What you mean by freedom?.what is the difference between religious and Government freedom?
(7)Why religion cannot govern people?

Reflection for 16th April 2017, celebrating,Easter sunday 1st Sunday mass of easter season,of cycle 1. Church invite us to analyze, how to become a renewed person.
lent allowed you to become a renewed person!. Your life is like flowing a river, always river flows through 2 banks. These 2 bank can be treated how you manage your internal and external freedom.
Always Freedom is subject to law. Freedom is not that what you can do, but what you ought to do?.Our mind is a thoughts factory, mind likes full freedom to think!. Hence mind like to imagine infinite ways which you feel good. But Freedom always means what you ought to do?, hence it always subject to Law!.

What you ought to do is first defined by his own religion. No body is watching whether you follow or not!. What you ought to do for catholics is clearly defined in 7 Ethics. When you go against, personal to you, you repent, then confess to a priest, then carry out indulgence activities. NO BODY KNOWS and priest cannot divulge your sins. Let us analyse the external freedom.
You cannot live alone, always you are interdependent with other person, so called society!. To live harmony in a society you need Government laws. This is external freedom to any human. In external freedom, when you against laws, you will be caught by police and bring in front of judge, where judge will decide whether you have gone against law, then punish you according the fault that you have caused.
So external freedom always rest in the internal freedom. In internal freedom, you decide to rehabilitate yourself, while external is not so, always you try to escape the punishment!.

Practical implementation of internal and external freedom!
Can religions govern people?

5 senses of your body has to be controlled mainly by (unambiguous)religious laws,so that you can really enjoy the Freedom. In catholicism even if you look at a woman lust fully, you are committing a Sin!. Certain religions, their laws are  coinciding with the Government law!. So there is no difference between Government & religious law!. But not with Catholicism!. It is very clear from gospel: Mt 22:21 says 'So give back to Caesar what is Caesar & to God what is God'

What has happened during lent to you?

The river example that already taken can be readjust to suit for lent: where water flow is your life, and 2 banks are your physical health and mental health.
You observed, how we train to prune ourselves by regulating our physical activities. By restricting our eating such as avoiding chocolate or liquor or by introducing new activities such as physical exercises such as walking/doing stretching exercises and fasting etc.
Also you observed, during lent, we trained to correct ourselves, against sins, repenting and having confessions with priest,
In addition, we trained,or renewed, as how to hand over our worries to Mary and Saints,
This is repairing both physical and mental banks in your life.
The above process is always dynamic NOT STATIC. Hence every lent, you have a wonderful exercise to be renewed for your own benefit of forming good physical and mental banks.

Is internal freedom superior to External freedom.
So catholicism provides very strict unambiguous laws to control 5 senses,which is much more mind controlled than Government law. Hence catholics external freedom always lies with internal freedom.
In managing Personal freedom catholic will be trained how to carry God's Will!.



God has created each person to lead different personal life, and guaranteed happiness,provided, that you convert your trust to faith with Him, by following 7 ethics and carry out HIS Will. So your internal freedom leads to follow HIS will. That is why many martyrs you will see, that they ignored external freedom, given by Government laws, specially,if it going against 7 ethics.

Is all humans are same?

I may be happy to play Cricket,where as you may be happy to play badminton!. No uniformity within personal Freedom. God has created every one to enjoy Time, whether you are Physically or mentally(deformed) most difficult part to handle is hidden individual deformities residing within us. You might think you are correct & I might think I am correct. So one person think other person is deformed!. What is the correct answer for disputes in personal freedom is only God knows. since HE is avail of all the out comes!

Is there any uniformity in human reasoning?

Reasoning is the process of thoughts in a logical order to form a conclusion/judgment or the ability to think& understand in a logical manner. Human actions are generally based on reason,while animals are not strictly so. A human carrying out action without reasoning would not be much different to an animal. Since we don't know 100%outcome of our action,though we may hv a reason,it has to be for good PURPOSES(according to 7 ethics+ government laws). The most beneficial way to carry out an action is out of love. God has created humans as one family,with God as Father. Hence the way to carry out any action should be based on love for God. This way, irrespective of outcome/s,we'll be happy. We'll see that God rewards us.

Limitation of human reasoning!
God is omni potent, omni presence and omn scent. why U cannot decide Ur parents or Why can't science control climate, still human have no scientific solutions. We know that only God knows what to do in these cases!.
Why Jesus came to this world? Just to show us how to manage our free will to follow HIS WILL. He showed us how to manage our life which is swing from happiness to unhappiness.

Flat tyre in your car while on a trip, may be a blessing, who knows that will safe guard you from an accident!.
Treatment for disputes within personal freedom is always lies how you are going to hand over such to Holy Mary & Jesus christ hanging on the cross, for a solution, while you treat such disputes!

Old testament prophecies, clearly show us that HE is the messiah to come.
 So in short we have reason to believe that Jesus rose from death?: just to show that HE is God. HE didnot risen as baby Jesus, just to show that we have one life and no repeated births in this world. Hence we not believe in karma/rebirth?
Why did HE rise with 5 wounds?
We know that human life rest on how to use his 5 senses. Mouth, ear, nose,touch and eyes. When you misuse these elements going against God's Will, you sin. Risen Jesus in HIS own wisdom, clearly showed us to manage our 5 senses.

Today's reading:
The reading from the act of apostles(Ac 10:34.37-43 says"we have eaten and drunk with HIM,after resurrection".
Paul says to collossians(col 3:1-4)says"you must look for the things that are in heaven,where Christ is"
Jn Gospel says"HE must rise from the death"

 Details of today's gospel encourage us to think about resurrection as the gift of God's love. The cloth around Jesus' head so carefully mentioned- Take us back to the rising Lazarus and the words of the witnesses,"see how HE loved HIM"(Jn 11:36). It is the disciple whom Jesus loved who first comes to faith. In a word,coming to resurrection faith is the moment of heart, that is letting ourself be so loved by God and loving in return.

Simple theory

Paul says that small amount of yeast is enough to leaven all dough,so get rid of old yeast for RENEWED LIFE"
Reminding us that Catholism gives very simple path to follow to lead a happy life. For that  new theory introduced by Jesus(LOVE) as against the old theory before Jesus!(Hate)


In conclusion Jn20:1-9"They have failed to understand teaching of scripture that HE might risen from death" Reminds though we are catholics, we may lead unhappy lives, without understanding the new concept of Jesus. New concept is to lead your personal life, happily!. How to eliminate crosses in your life. You will encounter cross,when there is a difference of opinion!. What is the God's opinion for that dispute? God will not send angels to tell that!. We know Gospel treatment for disputes which falls outside to 7 Ethics" if anybody asked you to carry one mile, carry 2 miles". This you have to do without worrying, by handing over such worries to Holy Mary or Christ. Worrying mind will block God's will to flow! Then your mind is free to receive God's instruction!. Most of the cases it will come thru' 3rd party!.

So we know that  disciples could not understand that Jesus renewed theories until They saw resurrections! What is resurrection to our life?.
To understand the new theory of Jesus how to lead our life according to God's will.
In order to do that we should be logically clear, that God has created you to lead a happy life!. For that God has given you Talents (mind) & space (body). How to develop these 2 for happiness!, in an environment where there are no 2 equal persons!,with respect to their behavior & time tables!. (I like to play,while you like to sleep

Finally;
We may have many reasons to carry out actions whereas animals may not have such. When our reasons go against God's commandments,without our knowledge we act like animals. Most animals act on instinct and lack thoughts on whether an action is for good or bad. When we carry out an action for the love of God, we'll be happy irrespective of the outcome we receive: otherwise one day we may become frustrated! Jesus came to show us how to manage our Free will. When we folllow HIS comms & carry out actions out of love,we'll understand WHO HE IS! 
So today you will see the limitaton of human reasoning and the value of developing internal freedom,value of pruning yourself at lent, for your own happiness!

Thank you!
God Bless you!
