Into the blue


Into the valley
Above the ground
Engraved in blue
Is the cloud

Their calm nature
Imbues peace
Discard your tension
Be at ease

Their clear appearance
Glitters all around
Open your eyes
Listen to the sound

Come out of the ally
Admire the sky
Enjoy your life’s rally

For awhile.

A challenging spirituality

   I believe that Salesian spirituality primarily caters to the heart of a person and while the heart is taken care of, the whole person automatically forms part of it. Though, it seems to be the most appealing way of life, concomitantly it is also a challenging one when it comes to practicing it. One needs to experience it, in order to give others a similar experience.      Right from his Childhood, Don Bosco developed a way of life through which he could communicate to the heart of a person, which later came to known as the Salesian Spirituality.  Many people helped him directly and indirectly to develop this spirituality. Mamma Margaret is considered to be the prominent one among them. She was his first catechism teacher who sowed the seeds of intimacy with the Father within Johnny Bosco.

Mother Teresa

The truth of reality is that good people of excellent caliber continue to live, so as to guide others who have gone astray. Mother Teresa is another eminent personality who changed the outlook of the world by her humanness.

This realization set her free and she began caring for the poor, sick and the forgotten. She was truthful to herself and to those whom she nursed and cared for. Those who witnessed her, joined hands with her in forming the ‘Missionaries of Charity’.

By recognizing one’s essence of being truthful, one comes to the realization of being human.

Mahatma Gandhi

The father of our Nation, Mahatma Gandhi was one such person who lived by his essence (of being truthful). All his undertakings were acts of truth. He faced all his difficulties and hardships not with bloodshed but with silence, peace and awareness i.e. the non-violence movement. He knew his creation was not to cause destruction but construction of lives and he was true to it. The moment he realized any violence being cause by his party, he immediately withdrew from that movement. His truthfulness drew his concern towards his countrymen and women who were being exploited by the foreigners. Eventually, his truthfulness projected his humanness. He felt their pain and struggle and as a result revolutionized himself from being a barrister (wearing a coat) to a freedom fighter of peace (wearing a dhoti). Symbolically, Mahatma Gandhi wore the dhoti as a sign of freedom and oneness with his countrymen and women. Gandhiji realized that “to be truthful is to be human” and with this firm bel...
