Guest guest Posted June 28, 1999 Report Share Posted June 28, 1999 I read somewhere that if a person pratices the discipline of truth than one day one by itself gains the siddhi of watever comes one mouth it will become truth . It is a slow process . On Sun, 27 Jun 1999, Shankar wrote: > Harischandra, the great king who practised truth in a very literal sense, has made a deep impact on humanity as a whole.

Then, He started walking. But, since he was in spiritual ecstasy, as He always used to be, He was not aware of the direction in which He was proceeding, in an external sense. He was then actually walking inadvertently towards the RadhaKrishna Temple, which was adjacent to the Kali Temple. But, to His own astonishment, He experienced a pull upon His legs as if somebody was preventing Him from proceeding further. Upon His inquiring Hriday as to where He was proceeding, Hriday told Him that He was proceeding towards the RadhaKrishna. It is then that Sri Ramakrishna relaised that whatever He happened to say came directly from the Divine Mother alone and that His words can never become untrue. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 1999 Report Share Posted June 28, 1999 What Anurag Goel says is true. Here is the meaning of a Tamil Couplet, relevant to the context. 'If (one) pursues ( & ) pursues, 'Not Telling Untruth', it is good 'Not to Do' ( & ) 'Not To Do' other righteous deeds'.
