Abstract
Mertons thought on Christians involvement in human issues is the result of his
struggle in living spiritual life. At first, as a young monk he thought that in order
to meet God someone must break away from all sorts of problems that occur in
society. However, in subsequent developments, he discovered that when people
walked toward God through contemplation, where he had to detach his false self
and then discover his inner self, he will find that in his inner self a person is not
only in unity with God, but also with his fellowmen. Thus contemplation is a sea
of love where person is in unity with God and his fellowman. Contemplation is a
dynamic experience of loving God animating a fraternal and peaceful life.
