"Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti" Rig Veda (1.164.46)
There is only one truth. But the sages/ people say it differently to suit there purpose.
Absolute truth is the derivative of my mindset and what i believe to be real is my truth. What ever form i choose to adapt to, my truth automatically adapts to my form. Then what is truth? The absolute truth? Has anyone ever experienced it?
I am a Hindu by birth married to a Christian. So what is my truth of religion here? Do i give up being a Hindu and adopt my husbands religion or do i live in my truth of God being one, we human's have given different names to the same universal consciousness to gain our absolute truth ; our identity, our religion. This is the society of demarkation we all live in.
So where do i fit in this society of demarkation, as my truth is that i am a global citizen who believes that we are part of the same universal consciousness, therefore i have no other religion than love. Can i in my moment of truth say my religion is love?
Now i must have upset few zealots who believe that religion is very important, therefore my truth is a lie for them. How can anyone have Love as religion, there is no religion with the name of love. Are they wrong? Well if all religions talk about unconditional love then maybe my argument of my religion being love is true.
The boundaries of truth have always been tainted with our vision and our needs. We have become the fabric of this society where white lies have taken the definition of truth. What my right hand does my left hand does not need to know, is the mantra of today's modern fast paced society.
I remember many years ago, i had called in for a team meeting. The agenda was to educate my team of white lies and to consciously as an organization, we remove white lies from our mindset. No more lame excuses for coming late to office or taking a leave with a pretext of not well. Let's try to tell the truth and see how it works. It actually worked great for us. The team was charged, they were not judged if they came late and said the truth, that they did not hear the alarm. Or getting late for meeting and saying the famous words " i am 5 minutes away" and these 5 minutes at times happen to be half hour late. We actually got more work done and the trust among the team members grew. We had removed the emotions which come from white lies and there was just plain truth which was being said.
After trying within, we tried the same technique with our clients. At first they freaked out, but slowly and gradually came the trust and a strong relationship which i share till date with many of my clients. .The truth, did set us free from telling white lies and then trying to remember what we had said earlier to counter any further lies. We had moved beyond the vicious cycle of lies.
While healing i hear a lot about people's lives when they come to me. What is said in the healing circle stays there. There is no judgement in the circle and lightens up the burden which many of us carry with us. We believe in our white lies, we start dreaming about them, we start living our white lies and one day eventually our whole life becomes one big white lie.
I teach one meditation which is all about accepting who we are. With the threads of white lies interwoven in our lives and many a times we validate our own lie to believe in ourselves and very often we are very scared of people judging us. This simple meditation is looking at your absolute truth and accepting it. This is the journey within to break ourselves from the survival tactics which we all have build of white lies to live in this society.
Truth is only a fragment of my own imagination, my belief, my values, my life is what is my absolute truth without any emotions. There is no high, or low in truth. In life there is no absolute truth other than we are all connected to each other through a seamless energy which binds us and this universe together.
This is the only truth, rest is all derivations of our mind.
