“What can you do to promote world peace? Go
home and love your family.”
When I read this
magical sentence, I could not but admire the profound Wisdom that’s hidden
behind that wrinkled face of Mother Teresa. Those were not mere words of advice
but practical way to start the World
Peace right within the four walls of our homes. She thinks globally but
acts locally. Her plans of works of mercy spread worldwide but she starts caring
for people right under her roof. It’s the most powerful work strategy Mother
used all through her life. She invites all of us to start being humane right
from where we are. We don’t need to look for occasions to help but ‘want of our
care’ is in need galore. We need to be little more open to our surroundings
that can put us right in contact with the people who deserve our kindness.
Her kindness was
utterly simple and incredibly powerful in achieving her ends. She said very often
in her meetings with Donors and Benefactors that at
the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how
much money we have made, how many great things we have done. But we will be
judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and
you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.” This is the biblical truth
that drove her crazy towards loving the poor and embracing the downtrodden and
forsaken, even to the point of shedding her comfort zone away.
“I can do things you cannot, you can do things
I cannot; together we can do great things.”
