Samanwaya Wisdom Mission

We are living in an age of specialization. Although we are proud today to have people with extra caliber and multi-talents, we are not able to live a holistic life by integrating all the healthy dimensions of life.Through an integral pastoral mission of life, man is enable to re-orient to the various situations of life. This programme provides amble opportunities to master integral vision of life thereby one may be able to respond to the demand of the time.

Christ is the way in which we are treading towards the goal of integral life. Moreover the method of Christ was that of holistic and he never compartmentalized the service which was necessary for human growth. Since the church is Christ’s living on in time space, the self-consciousness of Church always reflects this mission in a pluralistic society. As a human person living in the Church and in the society, one is ought to have a Samanwaya vision of human person which is to be imparted to all irrespective of cast and creed.

The starting point for this mission is the “Human Person” who is “Relational” and”Spiritual”. The felicitating factor of body and mind is the spirit who is “the image of God”. The relational being (Spirit) of Christ (Image of God) is related to the Being of Human (Human Person) that creates a Relational Anthropology. So the analysis of human person and its potentiality reaches to the Person, Jesus Christ who Lives in History and challenges each and every one to commit themselves in this mission of wisdom.

The Relational Anthropology is a new pastoral mission that orients towards a world as a global village. This pastoral anthropological approach is not limited to the cultural context but it empowers the humanity in relationally even by holding of its own culture and goes further to a Samanwaya Wisdom Mission through holistic empowering of the human person. It liberates man not only from culture but from myths and ideologies to a Being of Communion in communities.

Samanwaya Mission of Wisdom is an integral approach towards the Divinity, Humanity and Ecology. It is a new way of an Integral Pastoral Mission in a pluralistic context. The method of approach is entirely focused on Relational-anthropology (Person is Relation) which is developed though modern phenomenological and psycho analysis skills and self-awareness and even goes further to the spirit who is the link between the problems faced and solved. This spirit is the co-relational person regarding faith and psychology. To shake the root of the humanity and re-orient them to a better Being of Communion is the aim of the Samanwaya Wisdom Mission.

The Relational Anthropology commits towards a Pastoral Anthropology which challenges the psychological, social, educational, economical, ecological, political, moral, spiritual being of human in pluralistic society.

We are called to do the mission of wisdom. “Wisdom is the fashioner of all things. In wisdom there is a spirit that is intelligent, holy, unique, manifold, subtle, mobile, clear, unpolluted, distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen, irresistible, beneficent, humane, steadfast, sure, free from anxiety, all-powerful, overseeing all, and penetrating through all spirits, that are intelligent and pure and most subtle. Wisdom is more mobile than any motion; because of the pureness of the wisdom, pervades and penetrates all things. Wisdom is a breath of the power of God, and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty. Wisdom is a reflection of eternal light, a spotless mirror of the working of God, and an image of his goodness. Wisdom can do all things, renew all things, pass into holy souls and make them friends of God, and prophets; for God loves nothing so much as the man who lives with wisdom. Wisdom is more beautiful than the sun, and excels every constellation of the stars; compared with the light wisdom is found to be superior, for it is succeeded by the night, but against wisdom evil does not prevail. Wisdom reaches mighty from one end of the earth to the other, and orders all things well.”(Wisdom: 7: 22-30). This is the basic mission of all in a pluralistic society. Wisdom comes through true piety which comes through spiritual intelligence.
