ON THIS NEWYEAR

         One more gift for you all from god the almighty. You are given the honor to welcome yet another year. Just think for a while, that how much of kind he is. He gave you the luck to see the new year’s first moment. He let you enjoy the eve. He let you share your joy with your dear ones. He let you welcome the new smiles and wishes. He also let you live a wonderful life ahead, unlike the passed away men. Yes....you are honored with a new life. On this occasion let’s thank our father, god the almighty for his blessings on us. Let’s show our gratitude towards his mercy on us for letting us see the dawn of the new days. Now I wanna ask you something. What are you gonna give him in return for the kindness that he has shown on us? What would be your token of thanks for him, a one rupee or two rupee coin into the temple treasury? Or a vow to the chapel? But I would like to remind you that, when you offer something, have it from your heart. From the heart means, it should be genuine. It should be of 100% dedication. God accepts only those which are true, true from the depth. But offering some sort of costly materials can never be the truest.

         So this is a chance for you to think of those some things by which our lord gets satisfied... it is nothing but a good heart, a pure heart. So why can’t we take a new thought on this new year? On this new year, lets start building a new era on some people’s life, including ours. From the year ahead onwards, let’s start thinking for others also; others in the sense, those who have no one to be taken care off; those who live their life in the most pathetic way. From this year onwards, include the needy and the paining people in your prayers. Donate something from your savings, not to the treasury of the temple or the church, but to the hands that beg before you. when you spend more than what you actually need, remember for a while that someone is somewhere suffering from hunger, who could satisfy his suffering, if he had at least half of what you would have spent in excess. Keep a little love for the real needy, apart from your blood relations, who never have them at all, outside the walls surrounding you, on the streets, near to the garbage dumps, searching for their meals. Pray for them, for they too are our brothers. They too are humans, equally worth of living , but denied for some reasons unknown.

         We should never let our brothers suffer and die on the streets. We can change the world. Lets hold our hands together so that no more life is born or thrown on the path sides and garbage dumps. I would like you all to have a resolution on the new year, as a token of gratitude towards our lord for his mercy in us for our new life on the new year .lets all work together to change the lives of the suffering men. Determine that, on one day or the other we will do something for the society, either today or tomorrow, we shall put all our efforts to help the needy. One thing you should keep in mind that you are given the privilege to live, no only to live your lives, but also to love others and make them live. So let’s start the new year, with new determinations and resolutions, to enlighten many lives, and thus the whole world.
