I connected spiritual contentment, silence and truth in my previous blog. So let's discuss on how it is related.
Truth is the first part. With a wonderful conversation with my sister-in-law, she gave a beautiful example.
"If Mr. X ate omlette for breakfast today. But in the office when Mr. Y asks what you ate today, he says dosa. So that's a lie. Then how can you say it as the face of truth when there's a lie also?"
It's perfect. Like I said in my previous blog, delivering a truth has many assorted emotions being played in the background. While Mr. X is saying he ate dosa, it is not true, but his feeling of getting isolated in a societal setting plays the major role. That is, 'the assumption' of Mr. X that Mr. Y might dismay his truth, becomes a truth there.
Psychologically, in our present system of socialising there pops out the concern. Whether Mr. Y accepts that truth (a lie of dosa) or disregards Mr. X's story and tries to reestablish the truth. So ultimately, the establishment of truth is in a continuous process, which has no end. That is what we are supposed to give a thought on.
While you are silent and concede to yourself and remain for yourself, there arises a great step towards realisation. It is not that you are not caring about the world. But to remain within you so that you try to establish yourself first. Once you do that your mind deciphers the thin line between what to think and what not to about the world. That will ultimately help you towards spiritual contentment.
There you start realising on- how to see the truth. There you start rebuilding your reality with all consciousness.
PS: Special thanks to you Shlagha, for helping me in reconstruction of my thought process.
What to expect in my next blog!
Aren't we all spiritual? To achieve spiritual contentment.
