Comrade Jesus

Jesus was a revolutionary, and one of the prominent such icons in history. But that’s only the secondary reason why I like him.

It was such revolutionaries that brought about the much-needed change whenever entropy tightened its grip on societies. It would have been very different world today if there weren't any Karl Marx, Martin Luther, Che Guevara, Gandhi, Mandela, Malcolm X and such. The world would have had more difficult and slower progression without them.

Changes, through revolutionaries, war or catastrophes, happen at appropriate points of time in history. The situation forces it. Reason is that nobody likes or wants change. Prevailing social/religious norms and laws provide security for sometime but not for long. They gather static and slowly but surely become redundant. These frameworks will be so restrictive that it calls for shelving/ amendment/ or revamp. Revolutionaries, philosophers and such thinkers may be the Design's (God?) way of shampooing and then conditioning such institutions (society or even whole cultures) and thus bring about the much-needed 'upgrade'.

Anyway back to my topic. Undoubtedly the first reason why I adore Jesus is because he epitomized LOVE. No, even beyond love; it’s about compassion. Another God-figure I consider quite similar to Jesus in the compassion front is Krishna. Krishna probably was the lord-allocation for that geographical area called India as Jesus was to Judea :-)

Consider these facts justifying my second reason:

• He dared to modify the commandments. NOBODY (Israelite at least) dares to change the centuries old law or tradition. Would we dare to even try such a thing in this age enlightenment and freedom?
• The fact is that he blasphemed! Blasphemy, especially within a monotheistic religion, is the Papa-Sin and the crime is punishable by stoning. So wasn't he radical or what?
• He ridiculed the ecclesiastics publicly. That’s a death wish within any community.
• He, consciously or unconsciously, was the reason for a new faction within Jews and almost stirred up an uprising. It projected him as a coup leader.
• I do believe he had a soft corner (that much at least) to Mary Magdalene. Even if not, he dared to associate with outcasts - lepers and prostitutes. That’s really bold of him. In all probability his relatives must have ostracized him. 
• He had a natural inclination to break most social rules.

Now why would somebody do all this? Because he was a FREE man, loved his freedom, was fearless and was absolutely focused on his karma to free others too.

Jesus (my personal Jesus) was a free man. He had he guts to live and speak the way he wanted. He spoke freely and acted the way he wanted. He had a definite goal/message oriented life; inspired the masses; gave his unbiased free love to all who asked; and had the courage to change whatever he deemed necessary. Finally he died in style...as a martyr to a cause.

Salute to one of the greatest socialist that walked the earth!
