Walk the way of truth





What is truth? Truth is the purest form of anything, which is unique and beautiful in every way. Truth is the name of God. Truth is the name of your pure expression. Truth is something which doesn’t need any support to stand in the crowd, it has its own place and that is higher than anything else. Here we could take that “truth” as anything or anyone which or who is genuine. 
   Smartha Raamdas Swami suggests in his 5th Shloka, that our mind should not consist the sinful things, it should consist only truthful things. Here we could consider it as his way of telling that surround yourself with genuine people and things in life.
   Further he adds that mind should use it’s power of imagination only to imagine good, it shouldn’t use it’s power of imagination to imagine something which is related to worldly desires. When our mind does so, it allows worldly desires to equip our whole world, it takes us away from the real purpose of our life.
    In this Shloka, Samarth Ramdas Swami says further that “Paapbuddhi” that is mind with sins, is the mind which is full of dualism. Dualism is a phase, in which you forget the fact that you are a small part of parmatma just like other living beings. Satyabuddhi is something about being aware of the fact that everyone around us is small part of that Paramatma. When your mind consists of satyabuddhi, there is no space for dualism. You understand the fact of non-dualism. You accept the fact of being one of them. When you accept it, you automatically start behaving politely, because you understand the pain of being harshly treated by someone around you.
   When we give minute attention to everything he has said in his shlokas, we would realize one thing that, he has not given very difficult examples while explaining the way of life. He has just made us encounter with the fact by using simple gestures and morals. This is the beauty of his intelligence and his power of understanding the pulse of our mind.
