The Great Awakening--Or is it a cycle?

After a tiring (and boring) day of rehearsals for the National Day Parade, and as I was going home, I finalised my purpose here on Earth. It was to lead the Great Awakening. More and more people were falling into the trap and snares of the unimportant parts of daily life, and yet more and more people were being enlightened each day. As I try to spread the message, I find that my emails have little impact on many, and I begin to find more and more depressing people.

Then I realised that the Great Awakening was a cycle. In whatever generation we live in, a few will arise and lead, trying to tell people about living life as it truly was. I was rather frustrated that things weren't going very well, people still seemed as troubled as ever. So I talked to Jesus. I asked him, 'Were you ever discouraged about the people you were trying to reach out to.'

Jesus replied, 'Many times, yes. I feel that I have failed them.'

'Why?'

'Those that were given the knowledge were given the greatest burden. Look at my disciples. Even after spending years with me, I still had one who denied me (Peter), one who doubted me (Thomas) and one who betrayed me (Judas). All of them were with me, and I taught them so many things, yet, see what happened?'

'But they saw you in the end, didn't they?'

'Well, yes those who were supposed to see me did. Not everyone got the chance though. I didn't have much time left in the world then.'

'Did you really die for us?'

'In a way, yes. I died so that my knowlege could be passed on to help you. I 'knew' I would die anyway, but, like you, I am not afraid about going out with my knowledge, defying and ignoring those who were trying to stop me.'

That was basically the end of that conversation. I see more and more 'lost' people, like my senior. He is a very unfortunate case. Unhappy because he could not get a handphone. Sparing no thought for a life of an ant. Not having the ability to accept himself (worrying he's too short, not the right size etc.)

My good friend I mentioned...remembering past wrongs, or seeing the world as a competitive one where we have to step on others to get up. And again this is because of how he was brought up, with so many tuition sessions that I think I would be crazy if I were him.

So we should be thankful for our lives, though we may not feel very happy about these times. There's always something to be grateful for. I don't have to work too hard for good exam results, only those people who do not know what to do with their lives need to get good results, it makes them temporarily contented. But I must stress that this is only temporary, imagine if there were no exams, I would wonder what these people would do with their lives?

I finally found what I was suppose to do in life, though I do not know specifically what job is the best for accomplishing that purpose. I'll just continue to do my work, and the details will come sooner or later.

If you are doing what you like, then, you will generally enjoy work, instead of thinking of try to get through it.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, however, there will be times when challenges abound, and you only grow if they are there. Remember, God is only a telephone (prayer) away, if there's anything you may need, of course. Everything will fall into place once you've started working towards your goal or purpose.

As John Harricharan said, Once the student is ready, the teacher appears. And I have found mine, as Mitch Albom found Morrie (as in Tuesdays with Morrie, Morrie was Mitch's professor, and they formed a special bond. After Mitch left the university, they did not keep in contact. Then when Morrie was dying, Mitch saw him on TV and 'found' him again. Then they met every Tuesday until Morrie died, and talked about Life in general)

John Harricharan himself was the teacher of Kacper Postawski, an enlightened man (www.iamnow.com) and of many others.

P.S The exams are over, so don't get too sad over the results, or too HAPPY either. Learn to detach, and everything will be peaceful.
