Sach Ka Samna

There was lot of hue and cry over a reality show called “Sach Ka saamna”. Many viewers complained that the show is vulgar. Some even demanded that the show be banned as the type of questions asked to the contestants were too personal, embarrassing, unsuitable for general public. I don’t want to enter into any controversy or debate over this issue. But the point I am trying to make is that we have by and large built up our relationship based on heaps of lies. The truth is buried deep inside it. We are scared of uncovering the truth as it will expose our true self,. which will ultimately destroy our relationships. Our friends, colleagues,relatives all will turn into foes. Wife will divorce husband and the vice versa. Are we prepared to speak the truth and face the consequences. Not only will it destroy our relationship, it will take away our material possessions also which we have accumulated over a period of time through unfair means. Our life will become miserable.We will be alienated from the rest of the world. But why is it that every textbook, every religion, every tongue says “Speak the truth”. Truth is God. Mahatma Gandhi always spoke the truth. He had no material possessions, no bank balance but spiritually, he was a great leader. His relationship with people was based on truth. He was not hypocrite, doublespeak, opportunistic, manipulator as most of our leaders are today. Jesus Christ was humiliated, tortured, crucified on the cross because he spoke the truth.. Speaking truth is as painful as walking on razor sharp material. It needs lot of courage, grit,determination to speak truth which leads us to eternity. Lies give lot of material comfort and luxury but ultimately, leads us to distruction and death. Choice is ours what we want.
