Truth is unattractive, rough and with piercing
sharp edges; only the courageous can carry it and handle it. Untruth is hollow.
It is a kind of a wrapping used to hide timidity, lack of knowledge,
selfishness and hostility.
Truth
is attentive and responsive. It is concerned, caring and careful. It is unhesitatingly
proactive; not reactive. It is well settled in compassion and naturally
sacrificing without any self interests. It is ashamed of its mistakes and prompt
in rectifying the error it may make. It is unfriendly with the untruth, but a
friend of all. It bears no grudge against anyone, and is never malicious.
The
truth is simple, but tough. It is soft, but uncompromising. It is silent, but awesomely
domineering in its presence. The truth never dies. It is the God in the God’s
form. It is the faith in the God in human form. The truth is not something to
be worshiped and to be pleased; it has to be lived. One’s soul can be kept
lighted only by burning one’s self like the oil that burns to help the flame
glow till eternity.
