Who Are You

You too have young ones to sweeten your ears by their melodious chant “dear mom or dad”. Does it gratify your supreme authority to see them go without food for a day or two before you spend to meet their needs? Does your heart only melt when they stand with their hands closed together or knelt down at your feet? No, you will say, “It’s all theirs what we have”. Your heart pains to see them in pain beyond the shadow of a doubt. Then why you go on a hunger strike to make God submit to your demands? The philosophy of fasting is good for health, calls upon to self-discipline and frees from bodily dependencies. But the Father of all souls urges his sweet children to renounce their vices and not a constant balanced diet. Are you a beggar standing before an idol with your endless worldly desires or a blissful soul, His sweetest child, an heir to all His treasures, His love and powers?
