The prologue for this one is a fictitious conversation between Ahalya and Sita. Sita asks Ahalya " Being one with such luminescence and knowledge why did you not explain the reality to your husband before he stoned you ?"
Ahalya, with a gracious smile responds " Every one in this world has their own version of reality. So the truth differs from person to person" How true!?
The point is we think so much of what it was and what its gonna be like that we forget what it is now. Though we do not know the reality, we believe in certain values and a few principles, because deep down the flesh and blood, there is a voice which tells us the truth. However, in the clamor of various things we see every day, this voice, our inner conscience is being walked over. To such an extent that one fine day, when we realize what we do not know about our self, we are already far away. Nevertheless, it's never too late. What we need to remind ourselves of while we are in the process of learning , which is until we breathe last, is that there is lot more that we do not know. Conformation to an opinion gives us the the ability to be content with what we do. But that may not be the reality.It only squashes our ability to think beyond what we can see.
We do not realize that we wanting things to be the way we want is only a desire. While what we really think of them deep in our conscience is the wish, which will come true. Only by saying that we know people and ourselves need not mean that we know them. We need to ask our selves, Do we?
There is never an end to the journey within....and every step is a destination by itself. :)
