Empowered by love (English)

During this Covid-19 Pandemic, two kinds of power have come in to play-the love of power and the power of love.World witness people serving devotedly  to suffer and on the other hand bitter war.The motivation underlying these two is vastly different-is it all about ourselves, or is it all about others?The first is demonstrated by all those profiteering from this horrendous situation, and the second exemplified by the frontline workers,committed civil servants,those extending humanitarian assistance and bringing solace to the sick and the dying.                                               What we do all depends on the way we look at life.In all we do ,let love be the.sole  motive.Any need must be with reference to another. Let action be out of love.Passion must be eschewed .If love becomes the  grounding principle of all deeds,then most of the ills of the world will vanish."                                     The power and strength of love is.recounted in the story about Indian man Dashrath Manjhi,a poor labourer in a village near Gaya in state of Bihar.His wife Falguni Devi died in need of medical help.So Manjhi single handedly forged a road through the mountains,working with a hammer and chisel for 22 years.Built the road that shortened the distance between the hospital and his village from 75 kms to 5kms.       It is an oft -repeated religious belief that God brings good out of evil.Without denying all the grief,suffering and sorrow that the pandemic has brought humanity.Let us ponder  on the five suggestions made by Patrik Manning,to make some meaning of it all.First ,be on the look out for the unexpected ways that God May be working in this crises.What.unforeseen good might God bring out of this mess? Second ,the pandemic could be seen as an invitation from God to rest a while.Third ,refocus on what is really.important in this life. fourth,spend more time with God in prayer.Fifth,connect more deeply.with the people in our life.All of these are un exceptional suggestions.           The power of love can save not only lives but transform them. This is true not only of human beings in relationship with animals.A "Bright Side " story talk about a man who observed an eight year old girl in a store.She was talking to dog ,petting it and smiling.Her parents were .standing at one side looking happy.This onlooker later learnt that their daughter was autistic and that it was the first time they'd heard her talk using full sentence.                                    My father was a forest officer  .One day he caught  one hunter taking child deer with him.Hunter was arrested to produce in court with child deer. My father took every care of child deer ,his food and comfort. Oneday when when my father was out for tour. He jumped out of fence. 🦌 Stray dogs in town chased him and wounded. Guard of the house bring him back .The child deer bitterly wounded was waiting for my father. When my father arrived from the tour,He patted child deer. When he was in arm of my father he suddenly closes his eyes and died.                                                 In famous hindi song I remember the lines"Don't break the heart which is full of love.
