The Truth of Power or, The Power of Truth
‘Satya ka jeet hamesha hota hai’ or the truth always wins ?🤔
How many times have you heard from elders that the path of righteousness is the path to success? Who isn’t fascinated by the stories of epic tales of Ramayana and Mahabharata where the truth wins over the evil, even after being largely outnumbered but, with all heavenly forces align to back the truth and help it gain authority.
But what are we seeing now? The world is witnessing a historical event — where Russia invades ( or, conducts a special operation on ) Ukraine terrorizing the common man, bombing cities as it pleases, and making a mockery of treaties, diplomacy and pacts.
The world condemns Russia’s actions, puts tough sanctions, supply monetary and military aid to Ukraine but Ukraine still SUFFERS …
Does truth win over evil here? ( Mind you, I don’t outrightly claim Russia as evil, they have their own reasons, but the outcome is brutal and painful to the common man)
No ! Power does. The one who has power (military, economic and mental ) simply wins. Walking in the right path isn’t enough, you have to walk with authority.
Ukraine surrendered all its weapons after USSR broke into parts, either thinking the West is there to protect them or actually believing in Russia’s promise that they will protect Ukraine. And now look what has happened.
Be it a country, a man, a woman anyone who banks on others for security( economic or military) is laying its foundation to be crucified. Force ( takat) is constant, but intention ( niyat) is subject to changes.
The world is full of adharmi people with loads of muscle power, cash, and confidence and still, if we believe ‘Satyamev Jayate’ , it’s nothing more than childishness. You have to have the necessary power to fight evil as no heavenly forces will come to rescue.
Truth always wins ( in heaven). Practically, the one with more power wins. On an individual level, build a strong character, make connections, EARN and be strong so that you can defend your family. People like us make the nation. If you want the nation to be strong, start with you. There is no place for weak people in this world.
