Truth alone Prevails.

Every PhD Graduates have their share of enjoyment and entertainment while being confined in there lab. And watching movies on your desktop, while experiments is running is one among them. So I took the pleasure of watching Lage raho munnabhai recently though I had already watched it in the theater( 1 day, Night show). All Indians will be aware this movie is about ruffian munna and circuit trying to retrieve the 2 inning house from the illegal occupation of Lucky Singh using Gandhigiri. The movie has its own share of funny and touching scenes.
Well what took me for a ride, after watching the movie was new definition given to what ought to be practice in daily life. Gandhigiri term was just used to lure interest of the people in the movie. But as a matter of fact what was correctly portrayed in the movie worth mentioning was the practice of truth and non-violence can achieve what might seem impossible for mere mortals. There is on going debate whet er what mahatma preached is still of any importance is this modern day, where violence and corruption has become colossal and moreover tool for daily sustenance. It seems that majority of people have accepted the fact that falsehood is the way of life, there is no harm in case we benefit from its practice. Truth seems to have been sidelined from our daily life.
But as a matter of fact truth is most noble virtue that should be practiced in our daily life. But how easy is it to put into daily practice, In fact it's the most easiest path to be followed. One never has to account for any misfortune for uttering the truth but uttering lies can bring unlimited grief. Though the effect may not seem obvious and quick, buts it's truth that alone prevails till the very end. I'm not here to preach values, but want to point out that history is full of incidents wherein individual siding with truth has always come out successful in his life. The hardship one faces is the only testimonial to the fact that siding with truth you get the inner strength to face the tribulation of life.
Non-violence doesn't mean physical violence alone, it has to do more even with thought process also. Thinking is an activity, and it non-violence in our thoughts is also as important as in our action. After all action are created twice once in our mind and then in reality. So its very important not to think to hurt anybody. Though its only we who are aware of what we can think. The liability increases even more for there is no one even to correct and point out our mistakes.
Nevertheless Gandhiji became Mahatma not because of his oratory skill, nor because he went to jail umpteen times, he leader ed countries independence struggle. But he practiced truth and non-violence till his very last breath. The problems of the world are the problems of the man. All the quick fix solution that we think of for solving today's crisis, will serve no long lasting solution. Rather self adherence to truth and non-violence alone will solve today's crisis.
