Someone comes and tells you a lie and you believe in it as you do not see any reason that it could be a lie and you assume it is a truth. When you get to know the real facts, you realize that what you were told was a lie. So if you are aware of something, it is a truth and if you are not aware of something it remains as a truth for you. We are told so many things as a child and we keep believing them as truth, when we fall on the ground we are told to hit back the ground as it had hurt us, in the night when a child is not sleeping his mother tells him that the demon would come and take away the child if he doesn’t sleep and many small stories like this, as we grow old we realize that all these were fabricated stories and truth is something else. The ground never gets hurt, there is no demon which will take you away if you do not sleep. As we become aware of the reality, we get closer to truth.
However, the biggest lie which we have been living and we die with without realizing that we are living in a web of lie is the life itself. Gita gives you the truth but we do not realize. It tells us that its the soul which is living in this world and the body is just a temporary residence. Whatever belongs to you actually belongs to your body. You do not have to renounce anything to come closer to truth because if you renounce, you are still attached to it. Once a king renounces his kingdom and starts living in jungle, to find divine and makes a tree as his home. Once a passer sits under the shade of the tree and king does not like it and objects to it. The king says this place belongs to him and the passer asks why. King replies saying that he has renounced such a big kingdom and meditating all day to find divine so he only deserves to be there, its his area. The passer says, where have you renounced? When you renounce, you are still attached. So the truth is not in renunciation, its in detachment. Because whatever happens, it happens to the body not to you. You are just in this body. Whatever pain or happiness you are feeling is for this body not for you. You are watching yourself here and forget that the line has diminished, while watching you become a part of it. Sometimes, while watching a movie you may cry or may feel angry because the line between the reality and movie diminishes, similarly, when you are watching your own body, the line diminishes. When the movie gets over, you come to reality. One day your movie also would get over and you would encounter truth. When you encounter truth, you would realise that everything around you is an illusion and the moment you are aware of this, the illusion disappears. There will be no difference between I and You, everyone will appear as one. Everything will appear as a part of you. If you are not aware, it would always stay as it is and would never change.
