TRUTH GIVES US FREEDOM & HAPPINESS
TRUTH GIVES US FREEDOM & HAPPINESS
Dear Friends,
Let us first discuss what truth is.
Truth is what reality
is and reality is that doesn’t change with time, place or people but something that
is universal, lasting and that everybody wants from the core of their inner
being.
For example:
Everybody wants to be
happy, so, that’s the truth. Everybody wants love, so, that’s the truth.
Everybody wants comfort, so, that’s the truth. Everybody wants to be healthy, so,
that’s the truth.
Nobody wants to be
cheated, so, cheating is untruth. Nobody wants to be injured either mentally,
verbally or physically, so, injury/violence is untruth.
In short, truth is
something that everybody wants that gives us lasting happiness.
Lasting happiness is
what we are all after in life because our reality is to live in lasting
happiness and our actions in truth [in our thoughts, words & deeds]
definitely lead us towards this purposeful happy life.
So, all wise people
will live in truth in their thoughts, words & deeds.
Only fools will live
away from truth misled by temporary gains at the cost of their lasting
happiness.
Truthful people of
integrity will command love, support & cooperation from their fellow people
thus progressing in life in happiness.
Untruthful people/Cheaters
will be shunned by people and so will degrade in life in unhappiness as people
come to know his/her untruthful dealings with them.
Truthful people will
have no fear and will be surrounded by people with love thus living in freedom
away from fear or bondage.
Untruthful people
will be surrounded by fear of people whom they cheated thus keeping oneself in
bondage and fear.
Having said as above
about truth & advantages about truthfulness, question surely arises; in
spite of the advantages of truthfulness in the long run, why people still practice
untruthfulness like cheating, lying, betraying etc?
The answer is not far
to seek but it is the problem of people’s blind following!
If people use their
own conscience instead of blind following others, they will be truthful always
because consciences always warn people against their untruthfulness.
Why people blindly
follow others?
Because, people are
misguided since childhood by the family, society, religions, politics, leaders
of the society, by the media [TV, Films/Movies, Newspapers, Magazines etc.]
influencing/encouraging people in division/groupism instead of unity; materialism
that money is everything, wealth & power is everything etc instead of
enhancing spiritual qualities of love, duty, honesty, empathy etc; thus
stopping/suppressing people from manifesting their true life and instead
compelling people to run after money, wealth & power etc by hook &
crook thus spreading corruption everywhere and degrading people/society as a
whole; so sad!
Corruption of any
kind is away from truth and those people involved in any corrupt practices are
untruthful and untruthful/corrupted people will never enjoy lasting happiness!
Unfortunately for so long majority of the people in the society had been
following this untruthful way of life blindly following as the true way of
life!
Of late, it seems,
people are now awake to the truth that untruthfulness/corruption are truly bad
for them in the long run and so, gotta rid of this blind following of the
untruthful/corrupted leaders/social customs and so came the Anti Corruption
movements and Anti Autocratic rulers in many countries in the world.
This is the positive
sign of people’s awakening to the truth of life and all sane people ought to
support this awakening trend of humanity as a whole.
This way, people can
be truthful and live in freedom & happiness away from untruthful corrupt
practices.
So, fellow people of
the world, if you wanna live a purposeful life in freedom & happiness, stop
blind following; instead follow your own conscience and live a truthful life. Consult
with your conscience all the time and start questioning/investigating leaders /
gurus / religious practices / worship systems / cults / social traditions /
educational systems / taxation laws / political systems / employment systems /
food habits / everything / etc and do the best as your conscience guides you in
your best interest and for the best interest of all without any fear or favor.
Follow your
conscience because your conscience will reveal you the truth and truth will
give us true freedom & lasting happiness.
Happiness for all!
