Dishonesty

If people are dishonest... are we supposed to worry? Who gave us this right! In the cosmic system of things everything in life has two facets. If we have God at plus hundred... we also have Satan at minus hundred. We have day... we also have night. We have fire... we also have water. In absence of one... the other loses its meaning. If the society was totally honest... life would become so monotonous... it would lose its meaning!

In the Cosmos everything moves full circle. Sometimes honesty is at its peak... at other times dishonesty shows its fangs. In Satyuga... almost 95% people practice honesty... in the present Kali Yuga we hardly find even 10% honest. None can control this. If the clock rings 4 a.m. in the morning... it shall ring 5 AM next. The needle of the clock cannot jump from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. it just cannot be!

Let me illustrate above with an example-

A king who was proud of his achievements and administration once decided to test the ground realities of his kingdom. He got a huge pond constructed in the centre of the town. He got announced that every single citizen of the kingdom shall bring a pot full of one liter of milk and pour it in the pond.

As advised people from all corners of the kingdom made a beeline and by the morning the pond was full. The king had observed the whole scenario while donning the clothes of a keeper (none recognized the king in the changed garb).

To the astonishment of the king... not even a single person had emptied pot that contained milk. Every pot had contained water. The thinking of every individual was, in such a big pond of milk what would my pot of water effect. (Everyone anticipated the other to do ones job dutifully). Even the courtiers and people in power had poured water.

Similar is the situation now... everyone keeps worrying of others. In truth we are simply supposed to carry out our duties absolutely unmindful of what others are doing. The teacher gives the same knowledge to all students... yet, one comes first and the other last! To follow or not to follow is the prerogative of every student. In the circumstances can the teacher help!

Mahavira... the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism always stated that first become Mahavira and then preach... today we find a horde of religious and spiritual teachers trying to disseminate wisdom to the masses, absolutely unconcerned of their achievements.

We always need to remember that it is the doctrine of karma that governs the destiny of mankind. As we perform so shall we get... nothing less or more! We may be dishonest today... all shall be repaid back to us in the coming future. Where is the cause for worry? Life balances everything in the long run.

Satyagraha
Satyagraha is living life following the path of absolute truthfulness... Satya ka agraha which literally means in Hindi... following the path of truthfulness (Satya means truth).
In a dishonest world... to think spending a lifetime living the path of absolute truthfulness is beyond comprehension. It is not only difficult but incomprehensible. Mahatma Gandhi tried it... he was successful in implementation of Satyagraha. He had a very big objective behind him... Freedom of a big democratic setup like India! He was willing to pay any price for that... his Satyagraha finally made the British quit India.

Gaining purity
Traveling the path of absolute truthfulness makes one pure. While traveling on the spiritual path as we remove the dross within... we become purer by the day. Taking control of the five senses and the mind gives us absolute purity. Having controlled the five senses and the mind one reaches the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

Power from within
The real strength comes from our own character... the path of truthfulness that we are supposed to follow. Unless we are truthful to self... no matter whom we look forward to... the happiness we search for always eludes us. We have to follow the path of absolute truthfulness to stand up and face life again.

Hidden Truths
Truths nobody can fathom... absolute truths contained in scriptures of all religions of the world... always remain elusive to the common man! Why? Everything we perceive in the mortal... the ephemeral world is governed by our senses and the mind. The absolute truths contained in the sacred scriptures of all religions are beyond the purview of the senses and the mind.
