Download or read book Mother Teresa written by Mamta Sharma Ghuge and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mother Teresa was an embodiment of live, kindness and selfless service. She spent her life teaching to the poor, sick and the abandoned. To those who were left on the streets to die while the world watched in silence and indifference, she became the caregiver. What the world witnessed was a divine being, full of compassion, doing God's will on earth. Believing that there is God in every human being, she said "I see god in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?" Mother Teresa maintained that it is preferable to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness. Most of her biographies are completely reverential. The cult of celebrity will probably fail to explain the hold she continues to exercise on the conscience of the world even today. Mother Teresa neither sought nor expected any recognition; her missionary work was larger than life. This biography is a humble attempt to get to know Mother Teresa, whose radiance lit the world and draw inspiration from her life. As we traverse this journey together, let us hope that we will be dragged out of the darkness of ignorance and indifference into a bright world with peace, love, sharing and happiness.
