Does the cycle of life and death never
end?
The whole world is like that. It is all spherical; everything moves in
cycles. You have to come back, but you have a choice. If you are born out of
compulsion then it’s the same old story again and again. But if you get
liberated, then you have the choice and the will to be born when you want. When
you come back after being liberated, it is joyful.

Canaanite Woman and the Silence Of God
Sent by Gordon:
Silence Of God
God will come at an unexpected moment. He may not come as we
expect. But, certainly He will come. He will hear our prayer one
day. One day I was meditating on the conversation that took place between Jesus
and the Canaanite woman narrated in the Scripture (Mt15:21-28, Mk7:24-30). I was
a bit disturbed at the way Jesus humiliated that poor Canaanite woman.
She had a lot of expectations from Jesus. She was sure that her daughter
would be healed by the mighty power of Jesus. With this hope, she
came to Jesus. But, unfortunately, “He did not answer her at all”
(Mt.15:23). He was silent in front of her. All her expectations
were been shattered. Even the disciples came to her aid. But Jesus said, “I was
sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Mt15:24).
But, she was persistent and did not leave him. She pleaded
with him again, “Lord help me”. He answered, “It is not fair to
take the children's food and throw it to dogs”. Though she was disappointed
again, she said, “Yes Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from
their master's table”. At last, this time, Jesus heard her prayer. He healed her
daughter.
