Both these rose bushes in our garden have a past, present and future! They reveal that in the photos above.
It is the confluence of the past, present and the future which construct its biography.
The rose plants bear the flowers and decorate a garden or make a flower vase colourful and fragrant.
The rose bush might be releasing oxygen through its photosynthesis. The flowers have a short life during which time they fulfil the purpose by their presence for others.
A lamp post is present to give light in the street!
A street sign board is present to guide travellers to their destination.
A foot path is present on the mountain to lead the walkers to different places.
I happened to be in a bus stand yesterday. I counted five people asking me about the direction !
It occurred to me at that time that the self-giving presence is a path finder for others!
It alerted me of yet another dimension of a mission life!
Seeking for prosperity, professional success, wealth creation, security for future and investment to multiply wealth are the mission for many. A former chairman of the InfoSys currently appears in the social media introducing a scheme he has initiated to multiply wealth. He advocated working for 17 hours in a day to grow rich in short time!
I came across a family who is involved in helping disadvantaged people to build their houses. As their children are older and are comfortable with their own resources, this couple live in austerity to help others. They were able to help substantially five families to build small houses.
Presence for self-preservation or presence for altruistic mission !
