That living and following the law of God are NOT mere fascinations of a week heart but require rectitude, courage and sacrifice. He offered such a sacrifice that no one in history to come was left alone on the path of service, conviction and death in God. <br /><br />Joseph is the inner sight that allows every human being to know, to understand and recognise the fragrance of God once its wafted upon the soul and know the truth from falsehood and light from darkness. Its the fragrance of the Word of God symbolised as Joseph that brings sight back to a wayward, lost and blind humanity.Ghazala Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609802693478375330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751964279420308191.post-56034329857857501132010-04-11T08:29:26.732+05:002010-04-11T08:29:26.732+05:00nice dimension of veiwing Karbela, but your articl...nice dimension of veiwing Karbela, but your article needs bit more elaborationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
