Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
As a social worker in my free time for the last 8 – 9 years in Southern India. I have been mentoring and supporting Orphans, Childless parents, Old – aged destitute women, Slum dwellers, Aids victims, disabled people of all kinds, etc.
Now, I am Managing Two NGO’s of different fields… Please find the details towards the end of the page.
“Every person must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?”
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one’s culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.
THREE PASSIONS HAVE GOVERNED MY LIFE :-
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of HUMANKIND.
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of PEOPLE.
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot.
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.
