It's either one - truth or zero- false. There could be nothing in between. But what does it mean by approximation? Is there something in between? Is truth that fuzzy? Well we could say.
I am posting after such a long time. My work takes away ninety percent of my day. I am unable to channel my thoughts on a particular topic of interest. The only leisure time I get is on Sunday when we all watch Mahabharata aired on star plus. Now it has reached the end- Duryodhana's death.
Now the question arose why at all this blood shed, this war? To fight for justice? Dharma? But at one stage there were so many rules broken! Lord krishna himself broke so many rules. Is this what is dharma?
All that is happening around us, all the doubts that we have on what to do and what not to do, are answered by the Lord himself. 'Do but don't cling on to what you do'. I have already mentioned this in a few other posts; but these are powerful words and they answer most of the fuzziness and give clarity to all our confusion.
Anything that you do, if you are ready , unaffected, with equanimity, without fear, agitation, or even the least bit of worry to face the consequences, then that is the truth. In other words truth is not bound by rules or judgement., It is within us and prevails at all times even if you try to run away from it.
We humans are basically weak. We try to cling on to everything and won't give up our comforts for anything. That's how duryodhana was, clinging onto the kingdom, and sakuni to his sister. We have the kauravas inside each of us. The sense of attachment, binding onto everything we find. It is only with the help of lord Krishna driving our five senses- the pandavas can we truly be free.
This is not easy, even with tremendous effort we can't be without tying ourselves to something. Buddhists say leave everything and live an ascetic life. But that's not the solution. By avoiding something you are clinging onto 'avoiding it' which is still clinging.
