Leading A Spiritual Life

the divine plan of creation, so much is placed in the
charge of the unconscious mind, what is the role of
the conscious mind? It must be understood that the
Creator has made the conscious mind free to involve
itself largely in the great quest for truth. And to search
for truth is the prime task for every man and woman.
What is truth? Truth, to define it broadly, is the
reality of life. We must try to know the secret of life, the
purpose of life, the real goal of life, to know what is right
and what is wrong, what is good for the individual and
what is good for society. In short, the deeper meaning
of our lives!

The answers to these questions are not written on
any mountainside. It is man’s duty to discover all these
things in order to gain knowledge of the truth. And the
knowledge of truth is so important that the Creator has
consigned our bodily affairs to the unconscious mind.
Now, a man, or his conscious mind, is completely free
to discover all these truths of life.
It is often seen that people live in a state of frustration.
And great men are no exception. They live in frustration
and die in frustration. Tension and stress are the greatest
psychological diseases in our present world. What is the
reason? The reason lies in people’s failure to find the
truth.

Everyone is a seeker by nature, but everyone lives his
life without knowing its real purpose. As a result of the
ensuing sense of aimlessness, people live in a state of
confusion. They speak and write, but without clarity.
