Blessed the man, blessed the woman, who listens to me,

    awake and ready for me each morning,

    alert and responsive as I start my day’s work.

When you find me, you find life, real life,

    to say nothing of God’s good pleasure.

But if you wrong me, you damage your very soul;

    when you reject me, you’re flirting with death.” Pro 8:34-36

 

Wake Up Early

 

There was a time, when people quite often reminded the adage,” early to bed, and early to rise”, and during that age there was discipline about various aspects of life, regular time of diet, regular time of waking up, time for morning exercise— walking, jogging and other fitness programs, where greeting strangers pleasantries, and getting acquaintance, that later developed in to life-time friendships, where they supported each other in their lower tides of life, sometimes better than siblings or relatives, and there was a set time to turn off light, and not bothering others right for sleep, common places held a time of grand silence until early morning, and the rhythm kept them hale and healthy, while today’s generation is blamed of waking up whole night, wasting the precious resource of time, on internet—entertaining themselves into gratification of pleasure, pride and arrogance, by sending unlimited pictures and text over instagram, WhatsApp, facebook, twitter, line and tumbler, the leading social networks, that often connects unwanted and unwarranted strangers, that sometimes ends up havoking, genuine ties of friends, or spouses, and pushing others into non-withstandable, crimes of camshows, kidnap and untraceable murders, and list would go very long; and hence to avoid from the dangers, one need to decide, and commit to the good habit of waking up early, that only would get us the appointment and audience of Wisdom, that can protect, preserve us with the wellbeing of body, soul and spirit, whose alignment and co-ordination will take us to the paramount of blessed destinies, that we need to compete, and only then our life on earth gets true meaning and satisfaction : “Mishle 8:34 

34 Ashrei is adam that heareth me, watching daily at my dalatot, waiting at the mezuzot of my doors.” and I enjoy quoting the jewish bible, whose ancient vocabulary energizes and leaves me with exhilarating aroma of healing, joy and peace.

Job 12:12

Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old. 

Modern culture has almost convinced the youth of neglecting the aged and old, for they fear to imagine, that their faces they decorate day and night, is declining and rushing towards the grave, that awaits everyone someday—sooner or later that they do not want to think or imagine, or discuss, for that would diagnose the symptoms of their dreadful fear, that may be declared by medical agents, busy prescribing costly medicines, that need to be on sale, for the pharmaceutical companies, dignifies them as doctor and specialists, and hence, it is very wise that we inherit the invaluable wisdom, that the aged and old who only have the luxury and ownership of the wisdom, that is the medicine that we need to keep in our first-aid kits, wherever we are, or travel, because we desire trips to unknown land, whose food and men need, careful choice and consideration, if we need to food-poison that may harm the life, as that may have happened to people who we know, whose departure from earth, uninformed shocks, and that grieves our soul, and make us mourn for longer than we sometimes, underestimate or will keeps us for ever, whose loss of life leaves us lonely, and the children orphans, but the insurance they leave behind, even if we fight and win, and enjoy the void they create in the soul of family and friends, is bigger than ozone layer, that there isn’t a science to repair, or bridge the engulf, our technological civil engineering, hasn’t towered the heights, even if we can construct sky-scrappers, who may attempt to win the enthusiasm of the builders of the tower of Babel, who got failed, as we may too, in the wake of the alert message, that terrifies to run on the open spaces, or streets, where in an instance we become, dwellers with our homeless, who can withstands cold, wind and hunger, sometimes more than a week, but I wonder, what would the suit-wearers would end up, may be cry for help to the class who they turned their faces, but who now would teach the value of the impermanence of luxury and money.

 

Job 28:28

Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding. (NKJV)

No body is willing to accept, if I shout that Eifel tower just appeared, one day when the moon was completely dark, that we call nana-nani, in various cultures, and in various languages, and then they would suddenly test my sanity, for they know I enjoy drinking all forms of spirits, that knocks and kicks them, so easily for their withstanding capacity for alcohol is too weak, as their faith too, I wonder, may be true, in comparing that with mine, because my voracious reading could not take away my sanity, but the continuous hours of non-stop drinking,, did not convince to convince myself to self-declare, that I am stupid or fool, and that is the title the most ancient and most translated book, even if the scholars dispute the authorship, and verify its scientific accuracy, or authenticity, is still the major debate, for they may attempt and teach the impossibility, my perfect seeing of the tower that just jumped over the moon, and the toddlers song goes that as wikipedia registers, its history, by possible verification and information from research and scholarship: “Iyov 28:28  (OJB)

28 And unto adam He said, See, the Yirat Adonoi, that is chochmah, and to depart from rah is binah. I choose to stand by the conviction of faith who lost everything that he owned, and Yet was blessed twice by the end of his teaching and defense with the Master=Creator, whose question Job failed, But He the merciful Advises, corrected the mistakes and awarded him with his heart’s desire.

 

Two people agreed of the necessity of the fear, that I do have for I too had so many fears, and most of them that I got healed, for taking regular concealing session with the Healer, whose manuel that have and read that healed everything except one —the fear of the Lord, and choose to live with that even if any one chooses to call me coward, may be I am, for I haven’t confronted the injustice of the company strongly, when I served them over two decades including my formation, except the service, that I still believe may be useful, except buying bread, for which God is opening and showing many ways, after attempting several ones, and now I am daring to express my gift of knowledge, wisdom and fear of the Lord:

Pastors and so-called priests have too big heads, and that’s why when I met a non-believer, who I did not know was a condemned atheist, or Buddhist, once asked out of curiosity, but with the insulting tone, this question that I too agree, which fool will write in front of his name Rev, Most Rev, His Eminent, His Holiness and force people, to write, read and address, for they received new names, and the Liberation from the oppression of caste, color and race, But the new oppressors who suppress them, as new oppressor, act and perform like the British royalty, making people to wait in queue, and enjoy women dance in front of them, the innocent children of the christians, are condemned by other group of dances, who want please and get the applause for their nun’s sense of nonsense, additionally adding the new sickness of idolator’s practice that has a new technical term, inculturation-they force people to accept for they are afraid, where they are religious minority, for fear of being inquired for their financial, or sexual crimes, and before they are exposed or prosecuted, they need to prove their nationalism and patriotism, by going to pagan temples and masks, and holding hands with politicians, and their financing corporates- I am truly suspecting their wisdom and self-integrity, for which there would be a religious revolution within the churches, as in the time of reformist, who were expelled from the big church, whose sacrifices have made it possible, that bible is in the hands of many, yet they never have passion for that, for the so-called seminaries never taught, these cassock wearers how to pray or preach, for they themselves, as I witnessed, neither prayed nor preached well, except when a see- i.e they call the diocese that way, if there is vacancy due to the death, or murder of the cap-wearing big-heads, to hold his cap, another young or old priest, has to sacrifice his pastoral ministry, yet he get good dinner, several times a day, for gluttony is only in the list of sins that applies to the laity, the ruling oppressors since they took the vow of simplicity, they are exempted, that a man got surprised, who came for the ordination dinner, who was from other religion, and seeing all that flies, crawls and swims that were specially cooked, and hence boded his head both front and side-wise, and declared- now I perfectly understand the meaning of the vow of celibacy, for until then this man never had about vow or cow, for their religion prohibits cow-meat eating, because the vegetarian Aryans, who are very weak, yet convinced the meat eating Dravidians, of the validity of the myth, that is the curse and cause of all political injustices spread over one of the sub-continent, that strives for hindu nation, for they say they are majority, but the reality is, there not a word like that, thanks to colonization, that united all the small kingdoms for their trade, when they looted all the wealth and they were in a hurry, to write separate independence will, and it is called a nation, headed by the most corrupt ideological headquarters, that is equally systematic like the church, and who knows they may have stolen and studied the copy of the canon law of the church.
