What is falsehood, how to free ourselves from it?โŒ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿคฅโ›“๏ธโ€๐Ÿ’ฅ

Falsehood is all that opposes the Truth, either directly or by imitating it. Truth, in the spiritual sense is not what the senses report, that is to say what we see, hear or even feel and think. These are at best temporary, intermediate truths and given their limitations, often its falsifiers. Truth is what resides deep within the heart and not the surface appearances in which and by which we live. Truth is the foundation of creation, the stable basis of creation. Truth is also in the movement impelled by the Divine Will. Human will often distorts and falsifies it. In simple words the only truth is the Divine and His Will in us. To live by that and for that is truth. To deviate from that under the influence of ego, desires, seeking for pleasure, or in obedience to society etc are, from the Divine point of view, all a mixture of falsehood. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem.ย 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
