Rabindranath Tagore, India's Nobel Laureate in Literature (won in 1913), wrote a famous poem in Bengali called Ekla Chalo Re. But I have not knowingly lied on any not-insignificant matter at least for the past decade. employee to say the white lie as their paperwork procedure cannot handle the truth that I am telling them. I hesitate very much to even say a white lie, though I do so at times, say while joking with children, or to get out of some idiotic bureaucratic government paperwork in India where I am told by the govt. Truth is one the biggest values of my life. That test of fire has immensely hardened my resolve to follow the path of truth.
It was one of the greatest tests of my life to walk away from my former colleagues and walk alone for a year or two, and then join a few others almost all of whom were not from the Sai university, who also were walking on the path of truth by rejecting this elder & ex-warden medium during this period of around three and a half years! That change of company made it easier for me to stick to the truth. But Puttaparthi is a small town and so I had to make a lot of effort to distance myself from most of my erstwhile colleagues as they had come under that sway or were at least not daring to openly reject the elder & ex-warden medium. Of course, I had to quit the Sai university which I did in March 2012. 2014, I (and few other loyalists) had to really struggle to refuse to believe the elder & ex-warden medium and to not give in to the herd mentality which accepted this elder & ex-warden medium as those in power at the Sai university had accepted him! I am sure that in the USA too, truth will eventually emerge triumphant and this dark period where truth is painted as fake/falsehood, will go away.ĭuring the period that the Sai university came under the HIJACK of the dream-instruction medium who was a former warden & respected elder, with the vice-chancellor becoming his ardent follower/believer, from Jul 2011 to Nov. It is a revered mantra for most Hindus, even if many of them fail to live up to its calling.
India's national motto is "Sathyameva Jayate" which means "Truth alone triumphs" and comes from one of the Upanishads. I look forward to celebrating, somewhere down the line, the return of truth in the USA. Those who endure this period without losing their dedication to the truth, will, I am sure, emerge much stronger in their dedication to the truth. I pray to Almighty God to give strength and courage to these truth-lovers, truth-seekers and truth-tellers in the USA. I think the current period has become a great test for truth-lovers, truth-seekers and truth-tellers in the USA. Note: This post is copy-pasted from on 1.
