The Truth
“But, till the Ultimate Truth is realized which is Absolute,
Truth is always relative” I heard her say as I entered her premises.
Even without bothering to understand what was being
discussed, I questioned her “But, how can Truth be relative? It means, my Truth
is different from yours - Which is nonsense.
Truth should be same for both. Right?”
She smiled and continued “Yesterday, my aunt who hadn’t met
me for the past 10 years came to meet me and the moment she saw me she said “Why
have you put on so much weight? Is your health fine?”
In the evening my friend who’s gone to USA for 6 months came
to meet me and the moment she saw me she said “wow! What did you do to lose
weight?”
Inspite of stating the opposites, both were right. How come? Because, they were making the
statement from the mental picture they already have of me and I was fat/thin
with relation to that image that they carried of me. So you see, both of them
made a statement which was Truthful yet varied from each other because it was
relative. Get it!”
I nodded my head in affirmative yet my mind was not able to
totally digest this fact. I understood
this yet didn’t completely like most of her statements. I had to sit on this. She continued talking to others as I lost
myself to this statement. ……
