TRUE RESEARCH

TRUE RESEARCH
OR
TRUTH AND RESEARCH

BY

S. MAHESHKUMAR


ATTAINING the knowledge of TRUTH is the ultimate goal of any kind of Research activity in terms of the subject that we have under taken as the path of our study. The beauty and glory that the Researcher feels while he approach the result as core conclusion of his potent penance is that instead of finding the Truth as part of acquaintance with it he himself becomes it. This is the True award of his sustained self poise towards the task he has set forth against Time immemorial to place himself at the steadfast grip of the Truth-God.

The present state of the world is an out come of many more brilliant minds that studied it and sculpted it to the current form. World yields as meaning it many such implications as the world of things both physical as well as non-physical. Time spent in Research activity is always related to one’s creative period of life if advocated sharply and properly. Otherwise with less interest leads to cloudy finalism culminating into viciousness. Research is not a play of hide and seeks, lost and found when considered in this order. Actually it sounds appropriate if we reverse them and understand in this way:- Seek and hide implies after you sought Truth your untruth hides away. Similarly for found and lost that after you found it that you become it so that your old get up is lost. After attaining Truth-hood by means of good and disciplined Research, the person’s alter ego experiences ripeness in every walk of life. We are concerning ourselves not with the traditional meaning that the word Research implies. Every Research if advocated seriously and correctly end up in the common concept known only as Truth—the reverberating inner light ever shining and pure! If we give a flow of continuity to whatever we do, it is nothing but Research. If continuity progresses without our interference it is the first symptom of our conversion into Truth, of becoming it and at last of being it when that becoming purifies and perfects the pointed self of us.

In the way ahead of Truth we might encounter definitely with certain mockeries of Truth. These are what are known as the useless knowledge. We perfect our Research by erring. Useless knowledge accumulates as a result of these errors. The process of unfolding the bundle which shelters the Truth is named as Research.

As we proceed with the Research for Truth, the Mind’s Eye is activated in the midway and this assures that our work is in its way to reach the Truth swiftly and correctly. Actually Mind’s Eye, Mind’s Ear, etc., are collectively called as the unifying all-powerful Sixth Sense. When evoked, the Sixth Sense can create a world, a sun, a moon and so on with its very nature of vast capacity. What we see in this external world is the spontaneous work of the Sixth Senses of all of us considered as a whole. Research is a wonderful method to investigate Truth and arrive at the conclusion that Truth is not Two but also not One and is Zero. Fusing Right with Wrong and striking a balance between them after cancellation of the vices with their respective goodness raise us to the level of Supreme Consciousness, which is the abode of the Absolute Truth.

Continuous reflection to the Truth of our mind is the best training so as to adopt us to the ups and downs of the Research tenure. Our psyche becomes distilled in course of time by the exercise narrated earlier to fall prey to Truth. After this divine consummation, Truth takes charge of our entire hold and uses us as its agent to reset the chaotic rigmarole. As the Supreme Truth thereafter acquires our control after the Ego is burnt, we do our work, if there is anything left in our account as per the Providence’s decree, like a somnambulist we spend time without any attachment to the duties we perform. After succeeding in the mission of research to attain Truth, our state of temperament is nothing but equal to that of the LIBERATED-LIVING i.e. the JEEVANMUKTHA.
