Paul earnestly pleaded with God to get his physical infirmity removed. Paul prayed 3 times but God did not remove the Infirmity. God only said: “My Grace is sufficient for you.
Let Shillong Accord lie in Peace in the Grace of God. Let no one rack it up, it does not add, it does not gather; it only decreases. It disperses, it is divides, it loosens; it does not compact; it does not ennoble, it creates acrimony, not goodwill. Nothing good will come out of racking it up now.For once, let the champions of 'FORGIVE AND FORGET' reign in the land of the Nagas in deed.
Nagas have no use of the Accord now; GoI have no use of it. It enlivens only discord and dirties an already difficult situation. Shillong Accord cannot cleanse anything, it would only dirty those hands which exhume it. Let it lie in Peace in the Grace of God.
The Jerusalem Elders thought the Public would become quiet if Paul shaves his head and observes 7 days of ancient Jewish purification rites. Paul obediently followed their advice and shaved his head including those of his company but it did not pacify his enemies. They accused him falsely of bringing a Gentile into the Temple against the Jewish Laws, they accused him of working against the venerable long standing ancient Mosaic Law.
The Writer does not know whether Paul believed the Jerusalem Elders’ Advice or not. He followed their advice but it did not bring any good. Racking up the Accord to justify or condemn this or that Group would not bring any profit or good to any; that would only deepen the discord. It would cleanse no Group or Issue. Leave Shillong Accord alone in the Grace of God.
In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Paradise, the rich man sought Abraham’s permission to sent Lazarus to the World again and teaches salvation to the rich man’s relatives so that they would not suffer like him in future. But Abraham replied: “if they do not listen to the Prophets, they would not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead”
The Shillong accord will not cleanse any, even if it is resurrected, neither the parent NNC nor the break-away Factions; the best thing is to leave it in the Grace of God.
