So much to consider and process here! Yet, while I'm reading I'm also aware of ongoing injustice and immorality on the global scale, including in India. I'm reminded that we cannot do peacemaking (social justice) before we have peace in our own hearts. And even then it is action against great odds, though nonetheless worthy. Some will call it foolish resignation, I prefer to view it as holy surrender, trusting that right action comes from a "right" heart, and again that is a worthy life despite the brokenness and violence we see continuing.
