3. Mt. 5: 1-10


The way to become a follower of Jesus is to have the right attitudes, namely, dependence on God, longing for justice, sincerity, mercy, and peaceableness.  The beatitudes remind us to give priority to the poor, the workers, the peasants and the dalits. The good is not the pleasantness (as in Kathopanishad 2:1) but the joy and satisfaction that come from the human fulfillment.
