Touch

God doesn't really bother revealing himself to many people.

Every creator has creations he likes, and creations he doesn't really care for. A painter would have works which he would consider un-100%. A songwriter, in a time of need, would write radio-friendly tunes to make some money. The artist would do a branding job to sustain himself. This theory, I think, applies to God too. So, in that context, what happens. There is greed, politics, war, bureaucracy, and all those things negative and stifling to the human race. The human race. Those he reveals himself to have certain jobs to do while they are here among you and me. They stand up, they start revolutions, they achieve independence of their own and of their country. Gandhi had a job to do. Krishnamurti had teachings to share, schools to found. Mother Teresa had people to help. Fidel Castro had an entire country depending on him, as did Gandhi. The Dalai Lama is here for a reason. So, all these people have had contact with God in some form or the other. There is also the other tier of people working at the grass-roots level. Like Lakshmikutty teacher in Wayanad. She sold her property to build a school for tribal children and also took it upon herself to fight for them when they are exploited by the materialists. There is the doctor in Atapadi who walks the streets everyday, going to the villagers homes and treating them for free. These people are among us. They are doing selfless work because there is a hidden force guiding them. I think that is God. But I am quite certain the percentage of people that God has chosen to touch is quite negligible. But when you are touched, He will reveal himself to you in all his living supernatural glory. He will look at you from the hearts of the simple folk, He will look at you from pine trees on cloud-covered mountains, He will look at you from the edge of the ocean, He will look at you through sunset. And that's when you will look. Inwards. And begin your work, silently. No hoopla, fan-fare free. :)
