Truth & Lies

Truth is we don’t need to depend on anybody and if we are still dependent on somebody or thing that means we haven’t discovered the truth about ourselves yet!

Truth and lies

Truth is

We are not dependent on anybody

For our happiness

But our conditioning—

The way we were brought up—

Be it at home, school, work or any place else

Is the reason why we are unable

To depend on ourselves first

But seem to need another to lean on for life

Take away the crutch

And we begin to falter

As if we were walking on one foot

And can’t really stay still

Or in balance

But it is not so really

All it means is that

We haven’t learnt the art of balancing

On one foot

Until we have figured out

Where our other foot went

All of us are bestowed with passions

Somethings that will make us squeak

And squeal

And dance in delight

When we encounter them

My passion is my love of learning

Finding and figuring out

The deepest truths of existence—

What makes us who we are

Why we encounter the sorrows of life

And so on—

And so I try to pursue them

And every time I learn new things

That I didn’t know before

I squeak and squeal

And dance in delight

It happened just now also

What happened?

I’ve been tormented for the past one year

With dependency

I had been leaning on somebody at first

Then on Substack

But couldn’t find satisfaction in either

And so I understood

I had to leave them both

But how?

I didn’t know that

Enter Bhagavad Gita teacher

Who encouraged me to read the Gita Vahini first

And another person on Substack

Who encouraged me to read Ramana Maharishi also

And Jiddu Krishnamurthi as well

And voila,

My perfect potion for my energy

Got created for me between them

And as I read and encounter truths

That I didn’t know existed

Right in front of my eyes

Euphoria!

The Eureka moment!

Have you encountered that?

What I learned?

I don’t have to depend on anybody

Or anything at all

I can be perfectly happy with myself alone

Like my 6 year old enjoys playing in the bath water

With her bath toys

Singing to herself enjoying her bath

Find your niche!

Stop depending on others!

Doom scrolling only means one thing

That you haven’t encountered yourself yet!

So, set aside sometime

To spend with yourself

And get to know yourself

Once you are self sufficient like the sun

Then you can shine your light also

Then you can enjoy others in peace

Without having to lean on

Or drag onto

Anybody around you

Think about this!

Peace ✌🏽
