LOVE FOR HUMANITY
Bigger Picture
IN general people give credit to their parents in the building of their lives. In this respect they praise their parents. But such men and women are hard to find who realize and acknowledge that the whole of humanity has played a part in the building of their lives. In this matter if parents play just one percent part, the general humanity plays 99% part. But no one realizes this reality, no one acknowledges it.
For instance, when you eat bread, your parent’s role in this is less then 1%, while the role of the humanity in general is more than 99%. For, over a long civilizational process spanning thousands of years, it has become possible that a person may discover bread, as we know it today, and use it as his food. The same is the case of other things, for instance, clothes, houses, transport, machines, industries, etc.
The greatest form of worship for a person is to offer abundant gratefulness and abundant acknowledgement.
The truth is that the things one possesses, one part of it is the direct gift, while the other part is the indirect gift. If the direct gift is akin to the tip of the iceberg, then the indirect gift is akin to the iceberg. The indirect gift, apparently, is not visible but in its quantity, it is much more than the direct gift. People know only the direct gift, that is why they are able to give very little thanks, they are not able to acknowledge as is due. Had they known the benefit of the indirect gift, their gratitude and acknowledgement will increase. They will start loving the whole humanity just like they love their parents.
The greatest form of worship for a person is to offer abundant gratefulness and abundant acknowledgement, but the person who is unaware of this reality will remain deprived of the worship of abundant thanksgiving and abundant acknowledgement.
