Walk your Own Path [Hindi with English CC]

In this discourse, Om Swami talks about living in a society and the concept of keeping people happy. If one walks on a path where they want to please everyone, it is not possible without being untruthful.

There are three ways one can choose to live one's life. The first involves keeping others happy through compliments, the second involves boosting their ego to make them believe their chosen action is their idea and not yours, and get them to easily work according to you. Both these paths involve wanting to please everyone in society and that is not possible without deviating from the truth. The third path is, walking the path of truth.

On the path of truth, you may not have many people with you and you may end up with only a handful but those people will truly be yours. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa only needed one Vivekananda and one was enough for a revolution. A country only needs one Mahatma Gandhi. In a million years, there have only been 7 saptarishis, not seven thousand. This force is only present in the Truth. Only a person who walks on the path of truth, can bring about an everlasting revolution.

Pearls of Wisdom from this talk:
1. It is not possible to keep everyone happy all the time without being untruthful
2. Everlasting change can only be brought about by walking the path of truth

"Where all else fails, truth works. When nothing helps, truth does. Truth is the only long-term anchor of a good life. It redeems you. In fact, the path of truth is the only path of salvation. For, truth is liberation. It is the only end. Rest are merely the means." - https://os.me/the-path-of-truth/
