Does truth exists ?

Does truth exists?

 

Of late, truth has intrigued me. How do we quantify a truth? Does it really exist? If yes, then who defines it?

In ancient times, there were clear demarcations between right / wrong, true/false, ethical/ unethical etc. As mankind evolved, the demarcation line seems to have blurred. The transition zone has been gradually expanding and absorbing from either side. In later half of last century, there have been many movements related to empowerment, liberation and equality which have also contributed.

Everyone has their own sets of truths. Universal truth still holds the highest position. Man is busy in his own pursue of truth so much so that the universal truth is often overlooked. This process starts building up since childhood and goes on throughout life. It’s an ongoing process. A neutral person can help in finding out the truth.

Situations which are being encountered these days are different. A person standing on head end of table will read the letter 6 as 9, whereas the person standing on the foot end of the table will vouch for 6. In this context, both are right. Consider another situation of a person living on south side of equator and other person living on north of equator. The timings, weather, sun rays etc will be completely opposite. Both will speak their truth, only thing is their truth won’t match! 

My thinking cap magically sits on my head as I ponder, is there any concept of right and wrong, true/false? Anything in synchrony with nature and for benefit of mother Earth is right and the truth. It is all about one’s own perspective and willingness to step into other person’s shoes. Life will become much simpler and fun filled, if we attempt to understand the other person’s view point.

Till a certain age, say till one completes education, this should be in black and white. As one explores beyond his own comfort zone and enters forties, there is a sense of liberation and acceptance. Realization dawns upon that everything is right, true and ethical. It’s all a matter of one’s own perspective and willingness to accept other person’s point of view too. If my viewpoint doesn’t match yours, learn to accept my truth too and keep your truth to yourself.

If we transform our vocabulary to true/ more true, right/ more right, ethical/ more ethical, etc, this world will become heaven. And, when the time comes to leave and enter God’s land, I bet God will ask, “So, how was heaven?”

We meet to part and we part to meet!

We meet to part and we part to meet! 

 

We cross paths for a reason. There is a divine purpose behind every soul we meet in this journey of life. Many a times, God sends just the right person who helps up in wading through difficult times. Whenever one feels in midst of challenging times, a gentle reminder that the situation is temporary and will pass off helps in facing it. Such challenges are ‘His” way of expressing his love, concern and the need for that particular soul to evolve.

The only thing constant in this universe is ‘Change’. Yet, we live life with certainty and seek stability. Still water stagnates, harbor algae formation. Everyone likes a change and seeks a break from the monotony/ routine. 

There are certain changes which our soul doesn’t approve. Like children leaving home, high school student entering college, graduation days nearing completion with hostel days coming to an end. Even changes as simple as changing one’s sleeping place, eating place, study pace, parking place, trying a different meal menu, to name few. What is constant, humans tend to fight against it, tries to go against nature. Many of us try to swim against the wave. The best approach at times is to have faith in God and swim with the wave. This gives the much required impetus and at times the much needed push.

“What you resist persists!” If one understands the meaning of these four words, life will appear in simplified view. All these thoughts churn in my mind. One of my friends was leaving for good and I was trying to reconcile with these thoughts.

The person who takes the forward step witnesses the beautiful view earlier than the person behind. So, he trudges with full faith and enthusiasm. Wishing my friend enough wisdom and luck, as I turn around my vehicle and head home, my Popsie’s golden words echo in my mind, “In life, we meet to part and we part to meet. These are two sides of the same coin – life. Enjoy the phase which life puts you in.” In many communities, one always says, “Till we meet again!” There are no goodbyes in this circle of life. We meet to part and part to meet.

Filled with renewed energy and power, I leave with a smile and hope. The flipside will be part to meet. So, enjoy life fully every moment on daily basis. Inculcate this habit.

(With every write up, I meet with my readers and part at the end with the hope of meeting again.)

Love you all,

Juju
