How to engage with outer world comfortably: Tips to avoid conflicts by knowing the power of Reality
Life has many unexpected facets. Even the most successful and experienced people can make a blunder at any point. That is the dynamism of life.
Getting maximum efficiency in life is based on single factor that is discovering "Absolute Reality" in respective situations. In the previous article it is mentioned that while dealing with our inner peace, all the negativity starts from the single source that is "Differentiation".
Similarly in dealing with outer world all the suffering/negativity starts from single source "Inability to see reality/truth".
People often dilute the reality by the virtue of various influences. So let us know the importance of knowing truth and how it works.
" The more we are closer to truth the more peaceful we become, the more we are farther from truth the more we suffer."
Truth is base for all the positivity. There is a sequential order that has been presented by many divine souls. The order is Satya(truth), Dharma(righteousness), Shanthi(peace), Prema(love), Ahimsa(non violence).
If we have some closer look, we can come to know about their sequential dependencies.
It starts from the base "Truth". For any activity or for any context in our lives, knowing truth is the crucial point to progress further. Once we involve in process of identifying truth and knows the absolute truth without any dilution then we get the ability to decide the "Righteousness".
Righteousness means the appropriate thing to do for respective situation based on what we consider as truth. That crystal clarity we experience while taking a decision.
When we have such clarity we can implement the things in appropriate way. There will be no confusions or diversions. Only when our conscience thinks that we have done appropriate things then it will sow the seeds of "Peace".
When we are at peace, naturally scope for generation of "Love" activates. Because you cannot love when you are battling with your own irritation. When we experience the love then "Non violence" is just a consequence of our actions that are filtered through the love.
Once non violence appears then there is no question of getting into any kinds of "suffering/negativity". As most of the suffering that exists is nothing but a consequence of someone's violent actions. It could be expressed in any form.
So this is the sequential dependency order of Truth to Non violence. If there is no truth then all other sequential objectives collapse like house of cards. When we cannot see truth as it is, then there will be a clash with reality. We cannot take appropriate actions.
Just when we don't have that clarity we take wrong decisions. Once that happens peace automatically gets far away. When there is no peace we can't generate love. If there is no love, chances of expressing violence gets activated.
As there is a violence then suffering becomes inevitable. When we say "Non violence", people generally get a feeling of literally harming some other life through "actions". But it is not the only case. Because violence happens around us in many forms.
The basic level of violence happens at "Thought" level. We cannot underestimate thoughts because that's where whole world manifests at. Every single activity that happened and still happening on this earth is just a consequence of someone's "Thought".
Thus violence primarily generates at thought level. Then it takes expression in form of words or actions. Therefore avoiding violence in "thought" level is crucial. The next comes violence through "Words".
We often see people harm others through Words. Actually the majority of abuse happens at "words" level rather than "action" level. As direct physical attacks happen rare. But the words can do more harm. Hence preventing violence at "word" level is extremely necessary.
Then avoiding violence at "action" level gives complete meaningful progress. Evading violence at all 3 levels through "Thoughts", "Words" and "Actions" is shortcut for joy.
It is that defines a human being. It is possible only when we are at peace with ourselves and that happens only when we are in touch with "Absolute Reality".
It's not that people doesn't get into discovering the truth. But the problem arises in finding the perfect truth without diluting it. The lion's share of population fail in this area.
They dilute the truth based upon some influential factors and assume it as "Absolute Truth" in their brains. But it doesn't sync with reality.
So in order to achieve perceiving truth to the full extent, we must restrain from forming pre assumptions, conclusions, prejudices, and any such things. Especially in our day to day dealings with outer world unless we have invested our efforts into it and got some inputs on reality.
If we do not work on it consciously, our brain automatically creates piles of conclusions, prejudices and non sense without our awareness. The moment we have such influences upon us, we automatically moves far away from truth.
For example John has gone through negative situations in his childhood. He didn't get proper support from his parents, teachers and faced rejections which suppressed his communication development.
As a result he became an introvert and couldn't communicate with others as normal students do. Naturally some students started to tease him for his Inability to communicate and labelled him as "weird".
The entire class started to distance from him and did not cooperate. Meanwhile a new student has joined the class. He came to know about john. Here there are two options for the new student to choose.
Either to find out the "truth" about John or blindly following the prejudice that has been set by other students. Which means joining them to tease the victim.
If suppose the new student choose to accept the "prejudice" I.e., which is not "Truth". He loses the clarity for what he is teasing John. Oftentimes he get a disagreement from his own conscience for the misery he is offering to John. Ultimately he will lose the "Peace".
Eventually that frustration gets emitted in different expression on some other person. In second case, if he choose to get in touch with "Truth". He will come to know about the negativity John has gone through in his past.
The moment when he identify the "Absolute Truth", he attains clarity. Then he can realise that why John couldn't communicate properly. Once he realises this fact, he will get absolute clarity I.e., "Righteousness/appropriateness".
After knowing about John's past, the new student either support John in the best possible way or atleast he will restrain from joining the "teasing" batch. When there is appropriateness, new student will be at "Peace" without having any friction within him.
Naturally love and non violence towards John will appear on their own. It's like win-win situation. This is just a sample case. In this way every situation we come across in our life does contain a "Truth" behind it.
When we come to terms with the truth without effected by any influences, then suffering will become an illusion. We often see truth through our brain made filters.
We often get influenced by people we like, people we meet in our daily lives. Hence we reduce our ability to see truth as it is. Sometimes even our own past memories will inhibit us from seeing the truth as it is.
It could be decisions related to education, finance, relations, career, health, lifestyle business, taking a political stand, parenting etc.
Anything that comes in our life, if we can get in touch with reality and understand the appropriate actions, we never going to have any confusions and negativity as consequences.
The more we are closer to truth the more peaceful we become, the more we are farther from truth the more we suffer.
As we have understood the importance of knowing truth or being in touch with reality. The next article covers the detailed standard process on "Finding Truth". The factors that need to be known in the process of identifying truth.
