Stay on the truth

Mohanji

One of the root causes of disappointment is expectation. If expectations are controlled or regulated, disappointments are also less, but we cannot say people will appreciate us because people are minds. Minds are giving opinions. Opinions are not related to truth. It’s related to the relative truth. Many people give opinions. You can see the world is full of opinions. Just look at TV channels – opinions. We can never believe their truth. What we can do in this whole thing is allow it to flow, and the truth will shine forth eventually. In Kali-Yuga, because Adharma is ruling, corruption is accepted, and violence is accepted. Even if you look at the feature films, the hero is very violent, but we appreciate him. He kills a lot of people, but we consider him a great hero. So, our whole thing is twisted in a way. Somebody who is practicing ahinsa might not be accepted.
Secondly – many things which are legal are not moral or ethical. Example – torturing animals in the laboratories. Monkeys, primates and animals are heavily tortured in laboratories, but it’s legal but not ethical because they don’t deserve to be in the laboratories. They deserve to have a good life, like us. So, we need to understand the tapestry. In this situation, how can you position yourself? – 100 per cent on truth, do what is right. Stay on the truth. We are only assuming most things. Many times, we don’t know the truth. We believe the words of the press and other people. What you can do – be right. That means your conscience is right. Your conscience isn’t affected. If your conscience is not affected, you are right. If your conscience is compromised, then it’s not right. This is the best we can do at this time – being realistic, not pessimistic or optimistic.
