Bouquets And Brickbats

Guru Nanak was a wise and enlightened teacher. He realized the light of truth and he taught his disciples the value of living life truthfully. If your eyes are filled with clear light of love and truth your vision of life will liberate you from the darkness of selfishness and possessiveness. Walking on the path of truth and love is not easy. Those who walk on the path of love and truth face criticism and hostility from those who are possessive and selfish. Socratis, who walked on the path of self-knowledge and truth was given a hemlock for telling the naked truth. It is not easy to walk on the right path. Right path -walkers are heavily punished, criticized, ridiculed and even put to death. What helps me remain steadfast in my pursuit of truth and maintain my resolve is knowing what is truth, what is right and having the courage to walk on my path. It can be a solitary path. As Sri Rabindranath Tagore sings "Ekalo Jane, Ekalo Jane, EkaloJanere-walk alone, walk alone, walk alone even if nobody walks with you." May we choose the right path and walk steadily and courageously on that path! Namaste! Jagdish P Dave
