The Bleeding Truth

If there is one thing that remains young forever and sticks with you for lifetime, it’s the ‘truth’. It lives and breathes new life into your existence once you accept it. It is that which accompanies you in the journey of your life and continues to tell the world that you once existed on this planet, even long after you have gone. 

Indian philosophy talks about soul and metaphysical aspects of life. Every person starts developing into a distinguishable form right from the prenatal period. There is a lot that differentiates us from each other. But there is one thing that remains indistinguishable forever and that is- your soul. Its same for everybody at all the times. Its remains as it was thousand years ago and as it will be thousand years from now. And it is this soul that contains our truth in itself. The more we distance ourselves from the truth, the more soulless we become. Corruption, for e.g., has its root in soullessness. 

No matter how hard we try, we cannot escape it. Our love, hatred, disgust, affection, fear and insecurity; all is lodged as truth in our soul. We may disguise them from the world but we can’t cloak ourselves with any façade to screen ourselves from these aspects of life. In fact, our discontentment with life is a direct outcome of our effort in trying to dodge these bullets pointing right towards the centre of our consciousness or shall I say, emanating right from the centre of our consciousness.. 

What remains salient in us is this truth..the sooner we accept it the better we become. It is indestructible and it can never be manipulated. What we manipulate is our behavior and attitude. But this manipulation never really changes us from within.
