Here lies the Truth



The great saint of India Swami Vivekananda once told- Man is marching from Truth to Truth not from error to Truth.
In our day to day life whatever we do irrespective of our work we search the Truth. All of us lead a life that is with Truth only. But we live relatively with lower Truth.
In our day-to-day life we use to say that Sun rises from east and sets on west. Actually neither the Sun rises nor does the Sun sets. The Sun is always in its original position. It’s the Earth which is rotating around the Sun. But according to our knowledge Sun rises from the East is Truth to us. So Truth varies on the manifestation of Knowledge.
As we are growing our knowledge is also refining in the different stages of our life. When we were in Kindergarten we studied A for apple and gradually we came to learn many things by using the letter “A”. So when we were in Kinder Garden the Truth to us was that ‘A’ only stands for Apple and as we grew our knowledge modified by different vowels and words.
When a lady is responding her husband then she is a wife and when she is answering her son she is a mother. So that is a wife as well as a mother, both the appearances are True.
No one in this world is completely perfect. And no one is imperfect also. We all are walking to be a perfect one. We fill a bottle till it becomes full. Just like that there will be scarcity in our life till we realize the taste of “Oneness.” No matter whether we are rich, whether we have enough money for our entertainment or not; at the end of the day we want more and more. Nothing can satisfy us because we always find the neck of the bottle is empty.
We have to look for our Source. In our search for Truth once we will surely find that there is only the Truth. And everything is the layer of our thought that lies over the Truth. It is like the dust lying on the mirror. For this we cannot see our Self. But that dust cannot harm the mirror. As we remove the dust we will see our Self again. The mirror remains the same. It is our thought which always creates problem. The Truth always remains the same and unchanged and untouched like a drop of oil on the water.
When we will end our journey we will find that we are not marching from the Truth to Truth, actually we are theTruth
