Very often, we don't realise that we don't have the right to choose the end of our life. Only God has that right. God desires that we should become like His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. How is it possible? St. Clare of Assisi (1194 - 1253) gives three steps to accomplish that. She said: “Gaze upon Him, consider Him, contemplate Him, as you desire to imitate Him. ….Totally love Him, Who gave Himself totally for your love.” 1. Gaze upon HIm - उन पर नजर डालिए 2. Consider Him - उन पर विचार करिए 3. Contemplate Him -  उन पर मनन-चिंतन करिए It begins with the senses, leading to the mind and then to become one with God - the object of contemplation. Who would one become? It is Christ alone. St. Paul said, "It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20) To go to heaven, i.e., to become Children of God, we have to become Christ-like. St. Clare is giving us the way to do it with the help of St. Paul's teaching.
