Work is the source of transcendence. It’s more than a means of living. Work is the means to connect ourselves to something more than ourselves. It’s the means to connect our talents to something bigger than ourselves. It’s a means to participate in a higher mission that goes beyond the immediate tasks and responsibilities. This larger goal also encompasses a growth in sense of camaraderie with those sharing the purpose. It’s the means to bring out the best in us. It’s not you becoming work but work becoming a mission. A mission of transcendence.

Easter is not just a perspective, but it is reality that changed the course of human history. Easter is when the human mortality broke into eternity. Easter is when we found the key to human happiness irrespective of the situations around us or in us. Easter is when tears found its value by substituting the fear and anxiety with hope and joy. Easter is when our suffering becomes redemptive because it does not end in the Cross but at the dawn of resurrection. Easter is when human solitude comes to end with the infinite friendship of God.

Let’s not be happy only with the external observances of values but also internal attitudes. The external observances are important because it makes real changes in our life. Changes which have no life. Because the attitudes and thoughts are those which give life to the external observances. External observances devoid of interiority creates duality in us which is difficult to manage, often even clashes. But when the interior attitude guides the external observances, integrity grows and happiness sprouts.

Babel tower always inspires to make deep reflection about the desire of our pride filled ego. Our ego which wants to touch to the sky and to keep the whole world around us. We use our convenient concepts and opportune ideas to make this tower of our pride. Even though we know that sky is far away we keep trying to build this tower of ego up on the illusion that it’s very close. We convince others to contribute to building our pride-filled ego with invented necessities and fictitious proposals. Remember, this is a failed attempt, always failed. Our pride will only destroy us.

Pervasive culture of efficiency often becomes our standard of judgement of others and of even ourselves. What is not efficient becomes worthless. This is a wrong vision of life. Because it’s always the person who is more important. Human frailty is part of our human life. We must see beyond the human frailty to the truth of the person. Only a true fraternity can go beyond the human frailty to achieve an authentic relationship between persons.

We are more precious for what we are than for what we have. This is a fundamental principle which we must keep in our life. Our efforts in our life must not be to acquire more and more things but to bring out what we are truly. We must never define ourselves with the things we have or things we earned. We must try to define ourselves with what we are. And our aspiration should be to go beyond ourselves, beyond our selfish interests. Anything what we have is not as precious as what we are, because what we are, determines our happiness and what we have, determines where we are. Wherever we are, our happiness depends on what we are!
