We all say that we prefer to hear the truth. But, the reality is (or I should say, the truth is!) that we only want to hear truths that benefit us or are acceptable to us. Whenever the truth is bitter or harsh we find it hard to accept. But the truth is the truth and nothing can change that and once we hear the truth, even the bitter one, we must learn to accept it. In this regard Kanhaji is there and meditating on Him and asking Him for strength of spirit will help us to accept even the most bitter truths in our lives. Sometimes the truth is hurtful and we are often upset when hurtful things come to light. But, we must remember that Kanhaji has a divine plan for us and He is the only one that we must trust. If He has allowed something to happen in our lives then it is because He sees it fit for us. We must trust in Him and ask for His help to be able to achieve our goals in spite of bitter truths.
The suitable Bhagvad Gita quote I have found for today is as follows: "O conqueror of wealth [Arjuna], there is no Truth superior to Me. Everything rests upon Me, as pearls are strung on a thread."
Chapter 7 Shloka 7
This is a wonderful quote because it tells us that Kanhaji is the only truth we should be concerned about.
The picture I've included is one of my favourites with Kanhaji about to eat a ladoo. Another way that I've come to interpret it is as Kanhaji offering us a ladoo and telling us that we must trust in Him and remember that He will always take care of us, even in the littlest way to offer us a ladoo.
Jai Shri Krishna!
