Revealing Truth

Image
Actually, there exists only truth. But, due to the projection of the conditioned mind and its presence, man has created a world of untruth. Once man realizes that his expectations, achievements and very existence is temporary and are the objects of sorrow, he embarks his journey towards truth. However, this realization does not dawn for many lifetimes as the mind subjugates the intellect. When man ultimately decides to tread the path of truth he has to first step away from untruth. Because, it is the only path which caused his downfall and therefore he must consciously work towards erasing its traces from the consciousness. He has to forcefully adopt the practice of truth as his mind will revolt at first. But this is the only, fastest process that leads us to Truth. Once comfortable in this environment there remains no turmoil. Thus, man has to first apply his will. This is definitely a must for everyone, however the path that follows next is self-designed. There will be ext...

When a student learns Mathematics (for example), he is assured to make mistakes. This is because he has not understood the subject completely. In order to understand the subject, the student works hard,under the guidance of a teacher. Now, this is a crucial point that decides the student's future. If the student submits himself to the teacher and accepts the teachings, by shunning away his own infinitesimal understanding of the subject then he is assured to succeed. But, if the student independently takes charge of acquiring knowledge,he is going nowhere. Now think as to what this example means in relation to our own life? We face problems in life, due to the mind. Our mind (which is the source of all problems) takes ownership of guiding us through life. This is the biggest of all problems! But spiritual discipline shall enable us to break through this problem. We are inflicted by our own thoughts (problems), produced by the mind and hence need to be treated immediately. ...
