The Last Judgment
Michelangelo has been one of the greatest artists the world has ever seen.
His notable works of “Pieta”, “David”, “Moses” and “The Last Judgment” have been unparalleled in their beauty and perfection.
Another of his fantastic work has been the Frescoes on the Sistine Chapel Ceiling (in the Vatican)
>> It is said that as this great artist painted the magnificent frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine chapel…
… lying on his back for endless hours to finish every detail with great care
A friend asked him why he took such pains with figures that would be viewed from a considerable distance.
>> “After all,” the friend said, “Who will notice whether it is perfect or not?”
The artist who was known for his perfection at all works replied…
… “I will!”
The motivation for perfection in all things, for Michelangelo, was not from outside…
… it was a based on his conviction that he should be “credible and authentic” in all what he does.
Our spiritual life also follows a similar principle: When credibility and authenticity are lacking in a spiritual endeavour…
… there is very less spiritual growth and nourishment!
It is credibility and authenticity that helps to gain spiritual progress and advancements!
