Imbibing A Character Of Truth (Part 1)

Imbibing A Character Of Truth (Part 1)

A beautiful aspect of our lives and sometimes not given enough importance to is the truthfulness of our words and actions. Very often there are hidden false intentions in our thoughts which are the opposite of what our words and actions might reflect. Also, at times some people may purposely show a different person or a different nature to the outside world and carry a different type of personality inside. What stops people from being themselves? Is it the fear of the outside world or is it a personality characteristic – to be different inside and outside? Also, it is worth wondering such a person who shows a different face of himself or herself to the world – is such a person respected more or less by people around? Less, we would feel and we also experience that. Why? Sooner or later people realize and are able to judge us that we are lying or giving a false impression to people of many things. Such a person looses credibility and respect. 


So, it's good to be true and not to be someone with a false nature. Also, virtues shown outwardly to the world to please people are like artificial jewels, which are good to look at but do not carry any value. So, carry virtues or qualities in your heart and not in your head. That means don't become virtuous to show the world that you are a nice person and not be so nice inside. On the contrary, be so nice inside that people like you very much for your qualities. Always remember, people around you are very sharp in judging that you are an artificial good person or a real good person. So, instead of deceiving people with artificial virtues, express your goodness from the bottom of your heart and people will love you very much for that.

Message for the day


To be free from the influence of the past is to have the ability to fly forward.


Expression: There are so many things of the past that keep coming up in the mind again and again.  Instead of being like birds holding on to the branches of the past; the one who looks at the clear sky gets the inspiration to move forward.  To look at the clear sky means to look at the present moment and make the best use of it.


Experience: The ability to free myself from the negative influences of the past, enables me to have a vision of equality.  I will then not be judging others on what my past experiences with them are.   I also find myself experiencing the benefit of each and every moment. So I experience constant progress.
