ACCEPTANCE OF TRUTH – A PATH TOWARDS WISDOM

 

 

Whether human beings are, by nature, inclined to accept truth ? Everybody wants that all others, except him, to be truthful. For example, I am an international criminal; I am an international cheat and notorious thief. I am carrying out all sorts of anti-social, anti-national, anti-human activities, My speeches are sufficient enough to instigate people to do atrocities, I instigate everybody for doing all such negative things, Everyday I want to experiment new things including that of my private

life. I want to show to the outer world that I am sincere, I am truthful, I am loyal, I am lovable, I am sympathizer, I am genuine etc. I want to hear (or overhear?) people talking each other this qualities of mine.

 

Things be like that, I expect from all those who are directly and indirectly related or working with him to be truthful to me, to be truthful to my principles, to be truthful to my thoughts, to accept all my commands in its entirety, carry out all my orders and commands as-it-is without any deviation from my orders. I cannot accept if anybody in my team is speaking against me, if anybody is in collusion with some other group and campaign against me, I expect all to be truthful to me, I expect all not to carry out any theft, they should be loyal to me, I expect my wife to be very sincere and loyal and fully of mine though I can have relations with so many. Finally I want to get approval by all as the leader/teacher/guru and finally I am the supreme.

 

Let us analyse the above point in another context -

 

When all my thoughts, words and deeds are against the mankind, against the nature and against the very existence of humanity, I believe that according to me, all my thoughts are correct, my words are correct and my deeds are correct. Thus it comes that determination of right and wrong is according to my perception depending upon the state of my mind and state of affairs prevalent at that time. After few minutes, after few hours, after few days, what I perceived earlier may change also.

 

Now, in which way I should understand it –

 

I must think that in me and in him, the force that leads ahead is that AKHAND Brahma. The other person is thinking that whatever he does is correct and according to his conviction he is doing it. His belief is that he is correct. Who I am I to question his belief. Suppose if somebody question my belief, what I will feel. So I must understand that whatever he is doing, is correct according to him. If you feel that he is wrong and you are correct, what is the difference between he and you. (Here the doubt or question will arise. Is it that others should not react to such actions? Please, this is the spiritual way and not the social or

political attributes) The gist is, if one reacts, it is this ; if one does not react, it is this.

 

I am just getting out of my house and going to a nearby shop or anywhere. One vehicle came across and it knocks me down. My leg broke into pieces and admitted to hospital. It is a truth that my legs are broken. Now, this truth that my legs are broken, is it acceptable to me. No, not at all.

 

Instead of accepting the truth, you are now in the search of finding ways to curse that vehicle driver, to curse his acts, to lodge a police complaint, to lodge insurance claim, to become angry on the doctor, become angry on the medical staff, to become angry on the limited resources in the hospital, etc etc

 

Once you start accepting that what ever happened, it is truth and I accept the same. There is no other way than this. Even if you do not accept it, what is going to happen ? Whether there will be any change in that truth ? No, not at all ? That truth will remain as it is.

 

Else, in case you start reacting to it, see how serious it is.

 

Suppose at the spot of accident, you start abusing that vehicle driver.

One should understand that if I start abusing another person, first I loose my identity and I become the other person. I gather all the dirty words in my mind first and start using it. In the process of gathering, I am making my mind painful first, I feel the pain inside first, I make my mind dirty, ugly and senseless. When I abuse another person, who is hearing that abuses, that words, first. Not the other man indeed, but I am the first person to hear it, at least in two ways. One, firstly I hear it

in my mind and secondly I hear from my own mouth. Then only the other person hears it. Sometimes it so happens that even if you utter all abuses in as loud as possible, may be, that the other person has no reaction at all. He may, very coolly leave that place. At that time, mostly, you become more arrogant, more angry resulting into making your mind more sorrowful, more confusing and you loose your ease and become disease. Acceptance of actions, acceptance of truth is the first step towards sAdhana, wisdom.

 

The four pillars of SanAtana Dharma, that is, four vEdAs are built on one pillar, that is, adwEshtA sarvabhUtAnAm, and that is the Dharma.
