Truthfulness is the totality of a cluster of virtues. Anybody can conduct trials and experiments with truth, as it just becomes a leading element to truthfulness. But the practice of truthfulness in entire life, can never be an easy job for a common individual. Those who conduct experiments with truth, cannot honestly claim that they live truthfully. They make themselves, tools of their experiment and try to convince that they possess some qualities, which deserve consideration from the rest. These are just the trials of an individual to catch the attention of others, in easier ways. Truthfulness is actually a mixture of many divine qualities. Purity of mind, sanctity of thought, virtuousness of word, simplicity in life, dedication in deed, honesty in dealing and faithfulness in relation are the armours of truthfulness. Have you ever had the opportunity of meeting a person guarded with all these armours? We have such characters only in stories, based on pure imagination. The character of a person doesn't change considerably on the basis of such stories. Our experiences can perhaps make small influences in our behaviour. But we need to consider such reflections as some adjustments and adaptations for existence.
The simplest thing which a person can experiment is the trial for bringing thought under control. The practices in making control over thoughts certainly, charge the mind and improve its potency. Timely suppression of unwanted thoughts helps us to keep away from hasty reactions and it leads us to make the right decision later. We cheat so many people around us in explicit ways for our happiness. Materialism and spiritualism do no way go well together, since our priority in practical life, always goes to the first one. We have a common tendency of defining things on the basis of principles, which suit our well-being. Self -analysis definitely brings out a lot of things related to purity of mind. But a common person doesn't like to do it, simply for the fear of its impacts in future activities. Even in sacrifice for others, the element of selfishness exists in a hidden way. We often think that the others are incapable of catching our intentions and plans. When we engage in an activity to please someone, there can certainly be targeted ambitions behind it. This way, we make use of others for ourselves deliberately neglecting virtuousness.
The analysis of marital relations can clearly bring out so many fake and unworthy practices, we purposefully keep behind the screens. There is nothing to boost about a typical culture, which we assume to have, in any manner. When our words and deeds go just like a pair of parallel lines, we can no way become proud of having a valuable culture. Neither the husband nor the wife has the guilty feeling of cheating each other. Both sides present an array of lies to conceal truth. The practices actually become mutual revenges all along their journey together and they adjust themselves well in the bucket. We can perhaps have some exceptions here and there. But no justice is implied in making assumptions on the basis of exceptions. The pairs succeed even in concealing so many things from the community and the show goes on smoothly, as they plan. The bond of marriage, that we praise too much, often seems to become a matter of social commitment now. There are so many couples who make public shows just to convince others that live peacefully. Everything often becomes a matter of adjustment here, for someone else. Life becomes the dullest experience when we do things, just as the characters do in a play. When the couples engage in such shows for their children, we can count them as some adjustments for their generation. Here the youngsters do no way get the lessons of marital bond right from the family and these irregularities affect their life too in future. This can be termed as a typical kind of inheritance, and it seems to be inevitable also.
Some of us bring up the new generations in extraordinary ways. The main training they give, even before school education, is the practice for concealment of truth. They often give them special guidance in presenting series of lies and it clearly suggests that they don't want their children, follow the elements of truthfulness in any form. When they ask their children to present something falsely, they themselves make the children the agents of their evil practices. This is the way, they train their children, the lessons of exploitation. This attitude gives the children the message that they can go to any extent for their happiness and well-being. We become very much talkative in discussing social influences on children, simply ignoring our circumstances at home. Where should our children receive the lessons of truthfulness? Is there a special agency out, for providing such lessons? The children from our homes need to uphold the principles of truthfulness for the community outside. The society should become something like a cross section of our family and not in the opposite way as we think. If we give little attention to the elements of truthfulness, we can never help the society in any manner. Those who aim wealth and popularity, engage in fake games, in the label of social service. The same thing happens in politics too.
We see a lot of people around us, who strive hard to live here peacefully. They don't get enough time to analyse even their own ways of living. They can never have master plans for cheating others and also for earning too much to achieve special targets. They share the virtue of sweat within their homes and the children in these families need no special training for harmless existence here. But problems arise, when they get mingled with the people of ambition and greed outside. Even the schooling has a negative influence at this stage. It is truly remarkable if an individual from such a family, rolls on gathering no moss anywhere. We often blame some people for staying away from others and for making no company with the people around. No way we can insist our children to get into contact with all the people around them. Let them be in compartments of their status for their own sake. There are many people in our society who intentionally pull down others, just for grabbing better facilities. Those who make use of natural earning, should certainly check whether they truly deserve it or not. Even in helping others, we need to take care of not being cheated, since there exist people as parasites around. At the same time we should no way pull back our hands from helping those with mental and physical challenges since they perhaps may not be able even to make requests.
The main cause of concealment of truth is fear. It is actually the fear of losing the facilities we have for ourselves. We need everything around us for our own happiness and satisfaction. The very thought of leaving anything that we enjoy, make us restless and impatient. We sometimes wait for the victims, like spiders with the web around, to soothe us well in each and every moment. We often forget the consideration and respect, the others deserve. Our main interest is in receiving favours without giving them to anybody else. The inquisition of individuality is the main thing which breaks human relations. It is better that we seek our own potentialities rather than finding fault with others. When we succeed in finding out the virtues of others, we naturally start respecting them too. We must give respect to others and take it back as we deserve. You may perhaps be distressed with the way, the others behave. But when you too behave in the same manner back, you just become one among the others and throw away your identity. You have to mark your presence in the society in natural ways. If you take the caution, that you are being watched every moment by others, things become easy for your survival.
The way we do things, vary widely on the basis of our capacities. We often like to get maximum result with minimum effort. This formula can perhaps suit somewhere else. When we try to achieve something with minimum effort, we do not make use of our skills in proper manner. The application of the strategy to achieve a lot with minimum effort, may perhaps promote a poor culture of labour. Those who watch us closely, can often copy the shortcuts of our earning. The way of our earning is more important than the target we achieve. The real victory comes only when we conquer the hearts of others through our deeds. We certainly need to check whether we truly deserve all which we possess now. If some elements of unworthy practices arise somewhere, we can no way keep our heads high. The height of the wall around your compound, does announce well that you don't like to be viewed by others. Secrecy in dealing is not at all a fair practice. You need to have the guts to declare that the ways of your income are always based on truthfulness. There are so many people in political arena who can no way reveal the routes of their huge income. They have no concern over the people who placed them somewhere.
The pious people generally do not harm others and it does become a blessing, in typical ways. It is better that the non believers mind their own business rather than peeping into the customs of believers. Those who fear God, do not engage in any unworthy practice, which becomes a matter of discomfort for others. The basic ideology of each and every religion is truthfulness. We often see people who talk too much about extremism in the name of religion. Religion is based on a system of ethical practices and hence violence has no role in it. Religious extremism is definitely a senseless expression, since the terms stay apart distinctly. It is better that the extremists seek some other terms for their brutal practices since they move through the strange path of violence. The extremists too, can have a religion of their own and it is better that they label such foolish things in other ways. Extremism and terrorism can no way become religious. No one can kill innocent people in the name of religion. Those who deny, the right to live, challenge truthfulness and every one needs to be alert against the strange appearances. We certainly need restrictions in freedom to ensure social justice.
What feeling do you have now? It can probably be that of anger, disappointment, regression or revenge. But a few hearts do really relax, applaud, sympathise and repent in explicit ways. Here the catharsis does work well and it has the magnetic power of realisation and reformation. The identification of truthfulness itself, marks its value well, since it comes as the result of an effective inquisition. When we become dishonest, we offer injustice and impatience for the rest. It is nothing other than violence and destruction. We exist here, unharmed even in this way simply because of the elements of truthfulness applied by others, right along our path. Hence everyone needs to have the responsibility of maintaining them in the best possible ways. It doesn't mean that we all need to be obedient before the wolves having intentions to make use of us in crooked ways. We ourselves need to have the ability to extract the truthful practices from the set of social habits and keep them close to our hearts.
Now let us think about the relevance of being truthful individuals here. We live in a system where so many things happen in different ways for someone. There are certain people who don't have any concern over anything happening around. They think only about themselves and do no way help others. We have the responsibility of protecting nature and also its inhabitants. The way we protest injustice, is the matter which brings us extreme honour. We need not have any concern over the fighting spirit within, namely wisdom. We should certainly make use of our intelligence in all possible ways. Material strength too is a powerful weapon for many living beings and we do no way lack this element. But we can never stay in the battlefield with the material strength alone. We definitely need the armours of truthfulness in the fight against injustice in addition to our intelligence. Our spiritual strength is undoubtedly based on these armours. Let us take the armours of truthfulness up and stand straight in the battlefield, for the sake of each and every creation here. It is better that we do no way enquire, how seriously the others take up these virtues. We should make sure that we do everything possible, for the sake of the whole world.
