Now!!! Babithaji

 

You have realy stirred up something. Let us not re-define the meaning of word “ truth†.

 

There is next to nothing definite than “ Change†& “Death†that does not mean the Word “ Trust†can be interpreted in many ways please. “Truth†is opposite of “lie†just like Male is to female and positive to negative. Poor Shankara…. Bless all of us as we know not what we are talking about….

 

Namaha!!!

is telling lie good or bad?When a child is sick and skiny and haveing diarrohes mother administrates a bitter medcine telling that it is sweet, is she speaking lie? No she is telling the trueth. ANother child suffering from diarrohea wants to eat sweets but his mother tells him that it is arappukatti and stops him from eating. Is she also now not telling alie. What is the trueth.The criterion in judging whether or not something is a truth is that it must be good for others . But what is benefical to some must not be harmful to the other, which means that what we consider truthful must not do harm to the anybody.people for whose well being a system is being expounded must accept it as something that they like they must also be able to follow it without difficulty.it is with this good intention that ones system is elevated and another lowered in relation to it. the purpose is not to show that the latter is in fact worthless. The real

idea behind deviating a system over another is that the individual who receives instruction in it will appreciate that is the one tha is meant for him, when he finds that it is the one best suited to him he will follow it with intrest concentrating on it.pranam,Babitha

Babithaji,

 

Is telling lie good or bad? Certainly Bad there can be no justification or convenient way to tell lie if it harms some one or not Lie is a Lie it cannot be truth or result from such lie called good deed or served a feel good factor. In that case I think the judiciary is not required as it will harm people who by thought, actions, deed commit or be accessory to wrong ( crime or civil offence) Be it rich or poor /illiterate or literate – so deemed educate or uneducated, academically qualified or un qualified. Truth & Lie are totally opposite to each other per say. Well in case of Good or Bad it depends on various moral and ethics defined around a community.When a child

is sick and skiny and haveing diarrohes mother administrates a bitter medcine telling that it is sweet, is she speaking lie? Yes she is telling a Lie.

 

Another instance child suffering from diarrohea wants to eat sweets but his mother tells him that it is arappukatti and stops child from eating. Is she now also telling a lie? Yes.

 

What is the truth? If you believe absolute in the time refrence of modern era of science the quest on meaning of truth is in agreement with fact or reality

 

The criterion in judging whether or not something is a truth is that it must be good for others . Think of consequence if the truth is left open for a feel good factor. ( Moral is said “good after feeling†Immoral “ feel bad after†factor )

 

But what is beneficial to some must not be harmful to the other, which means that what we consider truthful must not do harm to the anybody. people for whose well being a system is being expounded must accept it as something that they like they must also be able to follow it without difficulty. ( This about Moral or Imoral – right or wrong , good or bad ).

Which system of practice ??????

It is with this good intention that ones system is elevated and another lowered in relation to it. the purpose is not to show that the latter is in fact worthless.

The real idea behind deviating a system over another is that the individual who receives instruction in it will appreciate that is the one that is meant for him, when he finds that it is the one best suited to him he will follow it with interest concentrating on it.

 

Is the above reasonable......??????

Namaha,

Pradeep
