Why is the truth so strongly opposed?

[Guest guest]

Why is this so?

If you call a thief a thief he gets angry!

If you expose a rascal for being a rascal he gets angry!

If you preach krishna conciousness people get angry!

 

Why are people afraid of the truth?

Deflecting a gentle breeze is easy. However, instead of altering the course of hurricane's wind, you yourself will be blown flat on your back.

 

So, your answer is 'attachment'. The more attached one is, the stronger the force of their attachment wind, the harder it is to alter their direction. Eventually when attachment and lust are not satisfied, anger results.

 

Why are we so attached? It is because we are running away from our reality, from the fear of not knowing what this world is, why we exist. Even more frightening than asking the question of 'why do I exist' is the fear of asking yet not being able to answer. Better busy myself with nonsense so the topic of life will not arise, thereby avoiding the trauma of knowing I am a fool.

<h3>Not Guilty</h3>

Not guilty

For getting in your way

While you're trying to steal the day

Not guilty

And I'm not here for the rest

I'm not trying to steal your vest.

 

I am not trying to be smart

I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry for your aging head

But like you heard me said

Not guilty.

 

Not guilty

For being on your street

Getting underneath your feet

Not guilty

No use handing me a writ

While I'm trying to do my bit.

 

I don't expect to take your heart...

I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry that you're underfed...

But like you heard me said...

Not guilty.

 

Not guilty

For looking like a freak

Making friends with every Sikh

Not guilty

For leading you astray

On the road to Mandalay.

 

I won't upset the apple cart

I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry that you've been misled...

But like you heard me said...

Not guilty.

I love when gHari plays a tune here, so Ill do the same. Truth is opposed because it cannot be handled, like jack nicholson said. But the Truth-speaker should also not push the envelope because nothing is solved that way. So, I sing this song, hoping that anger subsides in all, including myself. (Think good reggae riffs when you hum this song.)

Forget the Fiyeh

 

c. 1995 mahaksadasa

 

 

Words are hurled like rocks on a lake, agitate the waters for awhile

I take what I said back for now, but the waves bounce around for miles

I should only do what Jahmon say, and go about business, turn other cheek

Don't lose real treasure and break my heart by all worldly things I seek

 

To forget the fiyeh, it burns me

Let it all fade to history

 

Barking dogs defend the land, angrily showing their teeth

Do I join their kind today, all this anger burning beneath

Or should I do what Jahman say, and always tolerate

All these waves of illusion crashing down, and forget the fiyeh of hate

 

To forget the fiyeh, it burns me

Let it all fade to history

 

Trouble all around me crumbling down, but why should I think Im alone

The culprits surely pay for their crimes, someday we all must atone

I should just follow what Jahmon say, forgive the demon who will slay me

The theif with my shirt deserves my coat, if I understand this he will save me

 

To forget the fiyeh, it burns me

Let it all fade to history

 

Tresspasser, just go your way, retaliation is not up to me

I forget this fiyeh, it burns me. et it fade into history

I should always do what Jahmon say, no need to worry any more

"Vengeance is Mine" says the Lord, this is what He said it for

 

To forget the fiyeh, it burns me

Let it all fade to history
