Christ was born this day.
In fact Christ is born every day and every hour, whenever there is a need to bring about balance between the eternal truth and the ephemeral one.
Christ is born to show that to say the truth and to tread the path means suffering alone.
Yet Christ is born again and again, to show that the flame of faith that the eternal truth shall prevail ultimately, cannot be let go off.
Christ has to be born again only because he has been crucified again.
Yesterday truth would have been crucified at the altar of convenience. Greed, with sullied hands would have throttled his throat.
But Christ shall rise again.
Any amount of flogging, any amount of insults, any number of crosses he shall have to carry, shall not prevent him from the dharmic necessity to rise once again and give out his sermons so that at least those who have the eyes to see and heart to hear would get redeemed.
The heathens worshipping money, power or positions, may not answer to his call, understand or pay heed.
They will certainly conspire, threaten, give away, betray and prefer that a scoundrel be let off rather.
Yet Christ shall be born again.
He is defiance personified and yet humility to the core. Compassion cares not for logic.
He shall be welcomed by Wise men from the East or West, be protected by his Father in heaven and his spirit shall never be vanquished.
Christ is born again.
He comes as a child, in the most humble of places - in the midst of lambs who care; Lambs who scheme not; Lambs who would rather die, than would go in for the kill.
There and there alone, Christ is born again.
Wishing every one a Merry Christmas.
