GOSPEL READING: LUKE 17:7-10
‘We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.’
—————————————-
Servants are there to do their work. As long as there is work they have to continue to do so. Workers cannot expect to be rewarded with because they have completed a particular job. Only when all the work is completed the worker may think of his own cares and concern.
This attitude seems to be a very difficult one to follow. But this is what happens in the society. Here the workers are given to follow the normal run of the day. They have their obligation and they have to keep doing it until the work is completed. Duty should not be mixed with business. In business one may look for profits and gains but in duty it is not so. Duty is an obligation to be completed.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: லூக்கா 17:7-10
‘நாங்கள் பயனற்ற பணியாளர்கள்; எங்கள் கடமையைத் தான் செய்தோம்’ எனச் சொல்லுங்கள்.
——————————————–
பணியாளர்கள் கடமையைச் செய்ய அழைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறார்கள். கடமையை முடிப்பதுதான் அவர்களுக்கு நிறைவு. பணிசெய்வதனால் அவர்கள் பலன்களை எதிர்பார்க்கக்கூடாது. கடமை வேறு தொழில் வேறு. கடமையைத் தொழிலாகக் கருதக்கூடாது.
