True Calling.

"I used to go to the Temple with my grandma. The temple had flights of stairs. I used to ask her why can't they build the temple on the ground? Why do you have to climb the stairs at each and everyday temple?

The answer she gave was interesting, she said you need to rise above your level to reach God.

Each step in those stairs is a reminder that you are rising above your level in terms of your envy, your greed, anger, ego and all evil parts of your life. It also suggests that you have to climb the steps one by one, you can't just jump off from first step to the last step. That is the cycle of life, once you conquer these aspects you reach towards your inner core self...

Every moment, every step wish you are rising above your level & discovering your true calling.

Corruption self examination

- If you usually put more sugar in your tea when in a hotel than you do at home, you're likely to be corrupt.

- If you use more tissue in a public washroom than you do at home, you are a potential thief, if given opportunity you would take what's not yours.

- If you serve yourself more food than you can finish just because someone else is footing the bill, you're greedy.

- If you usually jump queues, you have potential for abusing office if given a powerful position.

- If you are more concerned about knowing someone's surname rather than first name, you're likely to be a tribal bigot. It's even worse when someone tells you their name and you ask, "which tribe is that?"

- If you usually overlap while in traffic jam or have no regard for traffic lights, then you would easily embezzle public funds if you're given a position at a public office since you hate regulation .

- If you channel waste or dirty water from your compound to a neighbour's compound rather than manage it, you're ill-mannered.

If you look at this post and wonder whether it was really necessary to talk about these issues; then you are dishonest and you would easily cover up ills in the society for your own benefit.

Let us try to be people of character wherever we find ourselves.

A country is as good, or bad, as its citizens make it. No Government can take action which ONLY THE CITIZENS can take - individually or collectively.
