ULTIMATE TRUTH IN THE WORLD ALONE SETS RIGHT ALL MY WRONG THINKING!



A man was surrounded by a set of problems. As he thought over, he could clearly make out how his peace of mind was disturbed and how his near and dear ones were subjected to suffering because of those problems. And he could clearly identify the people responsible for that state..

  • ‘Had that man not done so at that point of time, I would have been the happiest person today..’ 
  • ‘My own man created all this mess around me and it has become my job now……..’ 
  • ‘That man had become a constant headache to me in the last six months and….…..’ 
  • ‘In case he does what he said…….?’ 
  • ‘My that so called dear friend had disturbed me so much and because of that alone………’ 
Etc.. etc.. with all the related
  • Murmur, 
  • Anguish, 
  • Conflict, 
  • Misery, 
  • Shouting and 
  • Crying 
Within with a vexed feeling at the heart that finally brought the firm conclusion..

'Because of 'My the other man' alone, I am in this bad state!'

He instantly became angry and further was doubly angry in a short time. When the anger strikes thus,

  • A man forgets himself in no time, 
  • Loses discrimination and 
  • Quickly plans certain meticulous damaging actions 
Indirectly overpowered by hatred;

A phenomenon inevitable in Nature!

And in this particular context too, the man got agitated thus and was planning his own style of actions to hit back..

That rage is not very uncommon.. The self many times reacts thus!

He, in time had the great plans of bringing down the Kingdoms of his disliked ones. And the plans were too meticulous and no where it could go wrong..

Action No 1..

  • At one blow, the axe would strike where it was aimed at.. 
Action No 2..
  • The person will have no go but to retreat..
Action No 3..
  • Closes the master plan so meticulously without a single doubt in the minds of the people around about the originator of the plan..
Thus the viscous thoughts were ruling him strongly and at that point of time so to say..

The man was totally in a mad state and no one could stop him!

Suddenly, his son aged 12 years entered the room with an excitement clearly seen on his face…

“Dad! Today I heard from a visitor to our School that the whole world moves in the right direction because of the operation of 2 Truths..

1. Between a cup and a lip there are many slips.. and

2. Life is not a bed of roses!

How our world is controlled by these 2 Truths? Can you explain?”

The man was instantly speechless and dumb struck for a while. It took some time for him to come to his senses. Slowly it opened up in him,

  • "When nothing is guaranteed in this my life of small time compared to the Eternal Existence of Nature, what is that I am aiming at here?"
And as he pondered over again and again on what his son had mentioned, a certain calmness took over him suddenly..
  • "Why am I finding fault with others unnecessarily? Life has its own ups and downs as well as is favorable and unsupportive.. Let me simply do the right in the situation and forget the rest.. Whatever comes up in the process, that alone is my life and nothing else!"
And instantly he was cool and all happy!

From distance, the beautiful Sloka 65 from Chapter 2 of Srimad Bhagavad Gita was heard on Loud Speakers melodiously recited with the meaning explained in parallel..

'Prasade sarva dhukhanam hanir asyopajayate
Prasanna cetasohy asu buddhih paryavatisthate'


'When one attains the precious mercy of the Ultimate personality ( When the Ultimate Truth strikes) certainly the end of all miseries occurs ( all miseries end) and soon this happy minded person has his spiritual intelligence fully established (will be at Total Peace)!'

  1. Rightly said regarding fault finding & true peace. Bhagwad Geeta also says in Chapter 2 Verse 16 that Bad has no existence and good never ceases to be, the reality of both has been acknowledged by the seekers of truth.

  4. We are the masters of ourselves. Our pain and anger is subjected to our selfcontrol over our emotions. Rage in particular is the darkest of it all.

  5. To some extent i agree with the philosophy of life covered here.
    Presentation is very nice.
    No doubt what the sloka says is totally right but the journey is not easy.

    1. Rightly said, Jyotirmoy.. But it's forever our duty here on the earth to do whatever is feasible in this direction.. Thus seen, I may not achieve anything but that what I do here will fetch me sure a certain peace of mind. The philosophy never asks me to do anything but forever just says that that's the only way for ultimate peace. Thanks for the good observatory comment here.. Best Wishes!
