GOSPEL READING: LUKE 18: 9-14
Two people went up to the temple area to pray. These persons believed in the same God. They went to the same place (Temple) and their aim was to pray. Everything was same except that they (the two) were different. The external difference is not anything of great importance. (One was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector).
The significant difference is in their attitude. The Pharisee spoke from his point of view and everything was seen keeping himself as the point of reference and centre. God was only addressed to. The tax collector, instead, addressed the same God but kept God as the centre his own position in front of this God. The right attitude is to keep God as the centre and the prime thing.
நற்செய்திவாசகம்:லூக்கா 18: 9-14
ஒரே கடவுள்; ஒ ரே வழிபாட்டு தளம்; ஒரே நேரம்; ஏன் ஒருவர் ஏற்புடையவராக இருக்க மற்றவர் மறுக்கப்படுகிறார்? ஒருவரின் மனநிலையே முக்கியமானது. காயீன் ஆபேல் கதையிலும் இதுவே காணப்படுகிறது. காயீனின் மனநிலை அதன்பின் வரும் நிகழ்வில் வெளிப்படுகிறது. இறைவனை மையப்படுத்தி முன்னிலைபடுத்துதலே சிறந்த ம னநிலை.
