In a burning forest,
The lion run, living behind his cubs,
So as the tiger,
This is who I am, selfish and inconsiderate,
Living for I, me, and myself alone.

Called to live for him,
Giving all to live for him alone,
But I see no reason whatsoever,
As though am blessed to live for myself.

That’s my old way of living anyway,
Now I found a value attached to pursue,
Like a merchant who found a pearl,
And sold everything to acquire it,
So am going to give it all to lay hold it.

One thing controls my life,
And that’s the “cause of Christ”,
For this I will live and die,
And will give it all up here on earth,

Days after days, this became my longings,
To give my utmost for his highest,
And that in all my doings,
To acknowledge the highest.

My joy is immeasurable in this,
That am living just for the cause of Christ,
For my living is for Christ,
Just as dying is gain immeasurable.


P.S.: Have you find the value attached to Christ that worth living for? Its better you do and be among the few that find it.

 We learnt in chemistry of ideal gas and real gas. Ideal gas is an idealization. The ideas are invented to make solving problems easier. Ideal gas doesn't exist, they are just imagination. Some real gases behave like ideal gas, but they aren't.

That's how we are as well. We have preconceived notions on what we'd like situations to be. But maybe ignorance or high expectations makes us feel bad when we don't get what we want.



"At least by 21-22 years of age, I should have graduated from the university" is the thought that we all harboured in an ideal world that exists in our subconscious mind, but here in the real world, only to see you'd go on 8 months strike after each semester.

You expect to live a life of luxury in the future no matter how. But here the law is "No pain, No gain". That's how it is.

We all have the image of what we want, but here in the real world, nothing of such. But I said up there that "Some real gases behave​ like ideal gas, but they aren't". Yes but under conditions. Does that work for us as well?

All of us have what we wanted, though none seems to be in existence currently. But we have this world as a raw material to make an ideal world. We have the greatest task to handle in making our dream come true.

You want good, kind and compassionate men to fill the earth, are you one already?, You have an idea to make the world better, pursue it with all diligence. Though we don't live in an ideal world, but we can shape this one.

Remember an ideal world doesn't exist. But we can make this real world into an ideal world.



We are on the mission to make this world an ideal world.
