A Philosopher and the Saint
Once a philosopher went to a saint and asked him: "Why do people call you saint ?"
" Out of love and respect ," he answered, " I am a sinner as they are, and have been saved only by God's grace." Then the philosopher asked: " If that is so, then what difference is there between you and other people?"
The saint said: " Perhaps you remember that Socrates said he had come to know that he knew nothing. Then he was asked if he, as a philosopher knew nothing, what difference there was then between him and ignorant men.Socrates replied: 'At least I know that I know noting , but they do not even know that they knew nothing .'
" Such said the saint ," is the difference between me and other people.I know I am a sinner; but they do not even know that they are sinners, so they are a careless and indifferent about their salvation."

First of all, "its not about me, its about HIM":
In the heat of early morning, on the hill they called the Skull
The roaring of the angry mob, had settled to a lull
All eyes were cast upon a Man, whose hands and feet were bound
They saw Him cry in anguish when they heard the hammer pound
They saw the bloody woven thorns with which His head was crowned
They watched the bloody cross of wood be dropped into the ground
The soldiers gambled for His clothes, they watched them win and loose
They saw the sign above His head that said King of the Jews
It is Finished! and the sky grew black as the night
It is Finished! and the people scattered in fright
The Work has been done, redemption has been won
The war was over without a fight
IT IS FINISHED
They searched His face for anger, for vengeance in His stare
Instead of eyes that burned with hate, a look of love was there
He prayed for their forgiveness and bowed His battered head
And no one knew the meaning of the final word He said
The provision has been made
The foundation has been laid
He paid the ransom due and tore the veil in two
And opened up the way for me and you

Is is judicious to worship some one unknown as God
When I and my friend( from north india) was going through our campus .We found a temple of someone, whom both of us did not know before. But although he did not know the one who is being worshipped there , atleast the name of the goddess. he went to worship it.
Then I asked him how could you go and worship the one whom you dont know?
He answered ,whether i dont know who it is , i in my heart worshipping the real God indirectly by bowing to it , & God wud understand it...
Here is my doubt:;
I believe God is my father , who has the heart as a person do.
So for example if your son says thankyou or kisses your photo, or to some object or someone saying it to be a dad, even thou you are beside and eagerly waiting for your son to kiss you....How do you feel???:(.
It is what God feels if you bow before some one foreign with out really knowing who is the real God.....
