What is the Mission of the Saints ?

Answer 1

Mission of the Saints

Lord Krishna says in Bhagvadgita (Chapter IV, 7-8) that "Whenever there is a decay of Dharma (righteousness) and an ascendancy of unrighteousness, I manifest Myself; and for the protection of the virtuous, the destruction of the vicious and for the establishment of righteousness, I manifest Myself in age after age".

This is the mission of Lord, and the Sages and Saints, Who are His representatives and Who appear here at proper times, help in their own way to fulfil that mission. For instance, when the twice born, i.e. the Brahmins, the Kshatriyas and the Vaishyas neglect their duties and when the Shudras try to usurp the rights of the higher classes, when spiritual preceptors are not respected but humiliated, when nobody cares for religious instructions, when every body thinks himself very learned, when people begin to partake of forbidden foods and intoxicating drinks, when under the cloak of religion, people indulge in malpractices, when people belonging to different sects fight amongst themselves, when Brahmins fail to do Sandhya adoration, and the orthodox their religious practices, when Yogis neglect their meditation, when people begin to think that wealth, progeny, wife are their sole concern, and thus turn away from the true path of salvation, then do Saints appear and try to set matters right by their words and action. They serve us as beacon-lights, and show us the right path, and the right way for us to follow. In this way, many saints, viz. Nivritti, Jnanadev, Muktabai, Namdev, Gora, Gonayi, Ekanath, Tukaram, Narahari, Narsi Bhai, Sajan Kasai, Sawata, Ramdas, and various others did appear at various times to show the right path to the people, and so presently came Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi.-

Answer 2

The saints , that i have known of, never called themselves saints in the first place. It is the others who have christened them as saints.

Most saints donot have an agenda to change the world. They live with a conviction and way of life and they find it satisfying. In the process they take this up as "their" mission in their personal life.

It is the others , who are convinced of ths mission`s goals and perpetuate this mission for future .

If I were to ask you what was the mission of Jesus Christ what would you be able to say? Nothing.. Now we have a zillion misions in his name.

Answer 3

As someone already mentioned, people aren't regarded as saints until after their time has passed. The Bible actually gives the title "saint" to all who believe and come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ (Rev. 19:8). He gave us our "mission," otherwise known as "The Great Commission." Matthew 27:19-20 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
