I believe in telling the truth and living the truth. I believe truth liberates us from the prison of manipulations. But it is not easy to tell the truth and live by the truth. It causes pain and suffering. It is hard but hardship is a pathway to truth. It involves letting go of the darkness of lies and manipulations. It requires sacrifice of self-serving orientation. But I believe that is the right thing to do. I do not want to buildcastles of falsehood of lies in the air and live in them. Living in such castles may bring temporary illusory pleasures but it causes deep pit halls.
Choosing the right path and following is not always easy. I know what's the right thing to do but may not do it. I know what is the wrong thing to do but I may do it. Following the right path is not easy. It may involve losing. it requires courage to follow it. In the path of my life journey I have at times follow the wrong path and have gone through suffering. I have blamed others for causing my suffering. From my sufferings I have learned lessons of walking on the right path.
Whathas helped me from causingharm to me and to othersis self-awareness. Recognizing the existence of suffering, the causes of suffering, and knowing how to be free from them has helped me to walk on the right path. When I go on the wrong path and suffer, I compassionately relate to it and begin to walk on the right path. There is a saying in Sanskrit my spiritual tradition: Satyameva jayate,
nanrutam. Truth trimphs, not lie. And that is my expareince.
Namste!
