TRUTH: TOUGH TO SPEAK : MORE THAN ANY THING ELSE


TRUTH: TOUGH TO SPEAK : MORE THAN ANY THING ELSE

Telling truth somehow has been found to be a real taxing job. This has been one of the strategic battle fields, in my efforts to remain human, that I am attempting for last four years. Well ! nearly all who made me learn and also those around me who still preach other to practice truth by quoting “Truth Shall Triumph”, have been found lacking by miles when its’ their turn to practice what they preach. The one of the serious problems that I encountered in my attempts to remain human, got born the day I learned and put in practice this teaching of society. As soon as I saw many human beings started to change sides. Why it is so? is still a mystery.

The finding on the same lines is that, since you were not born with all the elements around you, in the sense that they keep on changing, you should not develop attachment to them. This is point where you will find that speaking truth has now turned some what easy.

This learning occurred to me with the learning that I do not have liabilities but responsibilities. Studies, Books and Exploring the Unexplored in this Universe are at times much better company to have. Some times, despite of this, I fear that God may have destined a long life span for me, reason behind this feeling may be assigned to my style of living the life. I will not say that I live life King Size, but then I can very well say that I live life at both extremes and have always attempted to defy the moderate path.

Normally, people pursuing moderate path with unbudgging focus on material and commercial aspect and in a state, which I say as a stage of life long and unending transition, where they are attempting from Third Stage in Maslow’s  Need of Hierarchy to Fourth Stage of same hierarchy.

Alas ! they are not able to complete this transition even at the moment ending their journey of life, but are happy (as they feel) most often with few tense moments at night, also at the same time time suffering with psuedo – achievement syndrom. They continue to live in ‘Gentle Poverty’ [a term coined by author], trying to prove that they are ethical ones, and simultaneously attempting to hide the fact they are neither humans, nor professionals; precisely ‘they can be termed as Selfish’ Creations. They will remain happy and content for nearly one third of their life span, i.e., commercially productive life span and may succeed in developing a false feeling of being content too; but you know that still  one third of their life, that would be less productive phase remains left.

A great Saint and Poet Tulsidaas [who authored Ram Charit Manas and in same] has said that “SABSE BHALE VEH MOORH NAR JINHE NAA VYAPAHIN JAGAT GATI”, when translated in Victorian language, it means that  the “Individual who are not intelligent enough to learn what is happening around the world and lack vision and are living in manner of ‘FUNGI’ are the happiest of all”.

I am also worried more often than not that why such issue get born in my Grey Cells alone. Are others also thinking in the same manner? If yes then why do not act so? I find no answers as the world turns deaf to my question. Its good too, as it provides me chance to analyze the things further.

Some how I land on the conclusion that as life has its strange ways, the god may be having some agenda with him that he may be planning of getting executed by me and thus has given or say gifted or punished by equipping me with this kind of life style and thinking.

People like me probably are not allowed to expect an easy life for them. As such people are supposed to be busy thinking that when so many are there, why it is they alone forced to embark on such path, and are then lost in search of what they are expected to do or what new surprise may spring out of destiny’s lucky dip basket.

Its’ nothing new and finally all ends well. The only difference that is found with passage of time is  that while others find it easy to leave this planet or to say fully vanish with their identities and names within fifty or sixty years of their leaving their mortal bodies, the another kind finds it difficult task to be performmed even after passage of centuries too.

Probably this much gamble is good enough to give you motivation for completing the Journey of life in bit other manner, trying to follow and accompany truth as nearly, as long as possible.

Remember, its only your deeds that can turn you immortal and also that you have been gifted with only one life time to perform the same. No more, no less. “Complaining of not having inherited the fortunes is not a good thing to do, but on the other side do attempt to complete your journey of life leaving others HAPPY & PLANET A BETTER PLACE FOR THEM TO LIVE.”

    As Dr. Samuel Johnson said “Even ill assorted marriages were preferable to cheerless celibacy.”. Truth is paradoxical as marriages are so it is tough. Celibacy may sound logical but does not experience the paradox of life. The paradox is the one when faced and tackled gives the knowledge. That paradox is the ethics which is subtler than the subtle. Knowledge is the goal of ethics. Person who gets the knowledge becomes immortal. That’s what Angel’s Advocate recommends http://wp.me/p18MVb-6h
