Yes! As the design of simplicity, the form of love, the figure of peace, the shadow of concern, the mother of mercy, the soul of help, the peak of hard work, the flower, that blossoms and attracts, the great personality Mr. Karl Kübel raised on this earth to enlighten thousands of families.
Mr. Karl Kübel was the ocean filled with mercy and love. It was indeed a great opportunity for me to attend Mr. Kübel while he developed illness during his stay in Coimbatore, South India. I felt this was the golden time in my life and the six days I spent with him were precious and unforgettable.
Mr. Kübel, was so weak, not able to speak, stand and walk. We had to exchange our feelings through senses. The affectionate care he was given caused the fast recovery of Mr. Kübel. The fear, tension and anxiety Mrs. Kübel had made her so depressed. Her prayer and hope, along with medical treatment, lead to Mr. Kübel's recovery from illness.
"Mr. Kübel's services for society were in the diary of the Lord"
I recall the third day just like the happiness of the lotus on facing the sunrise. I was so glad to see the cheerfulness in Mr. Kübel's face. There is a saying - 'The persons without blessings have no place in heaven, the persons without wealth have no place in the globe where we live'. It seems that Mr. Kübel's services for society were in the diary of the Lord. Mr. Kübel recovered from his illness and returned back to normal life by walking around in the hospital through his own strength.
When he saw us in the morning he welcomed us by saying 'good morning'. After the incident mentioned above, this great man lived in this world for some time but finally had to leave the world. His absence is a pain for everyone who knows him in person. We should console ourselves that it is the Lord's wish to take him back.
The dream of Mr. Kübel's life was to improve the circumstances for the development of children and families, the care in education, culture and socio-economic changes. Regarding his aims he established KKID, at Mankarai. Through this new foundation, where many trainings, seminars and meetings were organized, his dream of helping and developing came true.
"The seed, sowed by Mr. Kübel, became a big tree"
Through the projects supported by Karl Kübel Stiftung we are able to see the socio-economic developments and improvements in the infrastructure of the remote and interior rural villages due to the construction of new houses, house-repairing, toilet-construction, rainwater tanks, income generation projects etc. The list of beneficiaries is so long.
The seed, sowed by Mr. Kübel, became a big tree in a fertile field. Mr. Karl Kübel's life is more than that of a candle. Like the saying "You need four persons when you are alive and also need four persons even after death to carry you to the burrier ground", Mr. Kübel lives in the heart of four hundred million people in various parts of this world. Because of his big services and sacrifices he still lives on in our hearts. Mr. Kübel flows like a river and a waterfall from a mountain.
We wish all the best for the success of the centenary celebration of Mr. Kübel.
