TRUTH IS SIMPLE 

There is no labour involved in seeking Truth, it is as natural and effortless as respiration, provided we understand its basic nature. There is nothing one needs to assume or add on to our wearied souls, already loaded with artifice. If anything, we need to shed our layers of acquired knowledge, one by one, like one does peel the layers of a seed, to reach the kernel which is the basic building block. Our human souls, likewise, are formed of many layers, acquired during the course of our journey through life and death, which must be removed to reveal the unbreakable spirit within. This spirit is the essence of our soul and is one whole. No further divisions are possible and it is this very core we have to know, to know our true selves. It is the answer to the timeless question, ‘Who are we?’. To reach it, is actually very simple. Peel off the layers and get to the bottom. That is all that one needs to do. The material view, on the other hand, has as its primary focus, concealment of our true nature and addition of layers upon layers to our incorporeal consciousness. It originates in the deep rooted but seldom expressed belief that truth is uncomfortable. Truth leaves us exposed, vulnerable and solitary. To beat the discomfort, we take refuge in a cloak. Superficially warm, we do not realize how this cloak weakens our spirit over time. We learn to avoid the truth because we have been conditioned to disparage anything that has not been ‘refined’ by our material standards of acceptance. The layers get added at each phase of our multi dimensional lives, as a result of educational, emotional, physical, psychological, political, religious and social conditioning. The more the layers, the more is the acceptance and approval in the material world. You end up gaining the world but losing yourself – your ‘real’ Self in all that charade. ..............Om Shanti!
