Mkhulu Kangakanani UThixo Wakho? Inkululeko Yokuva UbuThixo

UMBHALI uPaul Coutinho, SJ

Zinzisa amava akho ngoThixo ngokusuka kwinkolo uye kubudlelwane!

Ngaba uyamazi uThixo, okanye uyazi nje ngoThixo? Ngaba ukholelwa kuThixo ongenamida, okanye umbeke uThixo ebhokisini waza wavala isiciko?

Kwincwadi ethi "How Big Is Your God"? Umfundisi wamaJesuit waseIndiya uPaul Countinho ucela ngamnye wethu ukuba acinge ngononophelo ngemibuzo efana nale. Ngomoya wakhe ofudumeleyo wokuhlekisa kunye netalente yokubalisa ibali elifanelekileyo lokukhanyisa ingongoma, uCoutinho usikhokela ukuba sicinge kwakhona ukuba ungubani uThixo kwaye singaba njani nobudlelwane noThixo ngaphaya kwayo nayiphi na into esiyicingayo. Ukuze asincede sicinge ngokutsha ngeengcinga zethu ezilinganiselweyo ngoThixo, uCoutinho, usazisa kubahlobo bakhe abangamaHindu abambeka endleleni eya kwi-mysticism; kubafundisi bakhe abangamaBhuda abavula iimbono zakhe ezilinganiselweyo ngoThixo; kuViktor Frankl, kuDesmond Tutu, nakwezinye izikhokelo ezikhanyiselweyo ezamkhokelela kubomi bokomoya obunentsingiselo ngakumbi; nakuSt Ignatius waseLoyola, oQeqesho lwakhe lokomoya oluqhubeka nokubumba ukucamngca kwakhe kunye nobomi bomthandazo.

UFr Coutinho sisifundiswa nesithethi esidumileyo saseIgnatian esizisa impembelelo yaseMpuma kwiNgqondo yaseNtshona.
