would curiosity lead me to the truth or am i going the wrong direction?

Answer 1

Only your heart and a natural desire to find the truth will lead you to it. Curiousity isn't enough.

Answer 2

It is curiosity blended with logic that breeds ideas. Curiosity is never the wrong direction unless you put action to your thoughts in a negative way such as crime. To be curious always is to lead an idealistic life of learning and understanding. Choose what you want to study further on, research and decide what idea you can study on and after you have reached whatever conclusion you may have then learn the best way to communicate your findings or ideas to the public, whether it be family or a stadium full of people. Try to learn to communicate so they will undestand, because if noone understands it makes you feel like all of it was worth nothing.

If noone understand your nature for curiousity then don't be discourage because without curiosity we would still be in the stone age.

Curiosity will lead you to the truth.

Answer 3

Curiosity is a good thing. You can't have an open mind without curiousity. And you can't have a fully heathy mind if it isn't open.

Make sure your curiosity is always checked by logic, reason, and the scientific method. Obviously you should not believe ideas that have been shown to be false. But more subtly, you should be skeptical of ideas than cannot ever be shown to be false.

Answer 4

Never be afraid of curiosity!

You only go in the wrong direction when you accept things without research and proof!

Good luck whatever you choose-

Answer 10

When the Buddha announced his impending exit from the sphere of mortality, his dear disciple Ananda burst into tears. “Lord, you have been the polestar of our spiritual path so far. Whom should we contact for guidance and higher instructions when you will not be there in the land of the living?” he asked.

The Buddha replied: Atmadeepo bhava - Be light unto yourself.

Your wavering, questioning self must be silenced at the still point of concentrated consciousness. Amidst the darkness of worldly delusion only the emanation of radiance from within - like the full moon - can bring enlightenment. Guru Purnima symbolises emanation of inner illumination, the awakening of the sleeping Buddha within.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna advised his dear disciple Arjuna: “Lift yourself up with the help of your self ”. You are your best friend, philosopher and guide, at the same time you can be your worst enemy as well. Arjuna was never advised to seek refuge in a guru. Rather, he was advised to rise above all religious rituals and seek refuge in Him, the embodiment of eternal Being, the pure Consciousness, and real Self behind the apparent ripples of delusion.

The concept of seeking the light within is perfectly in tune with scientific spirituality. Whenever we sincerely seek intuitive guidance from within we create a magnetic pool to attract the requisite energy vibrations of infinite potentiality hidden within us. Each soul is potentially divine and we need to awaken this divinity through concentrated efforts and continuous aspiration. This is spirituality. No one else can make us gain the same; we need to source it from inside.

In the Mahabharata, when Dronacharya refused to accept Eklavya as his disciple, the boy made an image of Dronacharya and started practising archery in front of the image. Consequently, he mastered the art of archery as good as Arjuna who was the best direct disciple of Dronacharya, through assiduous practice and intuitive skills. The secret lies in intense aspiration leading to requisite release of the potential hidden within through the psychology of faith in a guru despite the physical absence of the guru in the learning process.

Aurobindo had an experience in cosmic consciousness due to his intense aspiration and soul searching. He never had a guru. Although he received instructions on yoga from Bhaskar Lele, he never accepted him as his guru and his teachings did not lead him to self-realisation.

A true guru can be instrumental in transformation of our ego into divine self and release of divine consciousness through the mechanism of faith. But the dogmatic claim of the essentiality of a guru in the spiritual path falls apart on closer scrutiny. The life of the Buddha, Christ, Ramakrishna, Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi and others bear ample testimony to the fact. Guru Purnima, therefore, is an occasion for awakening of our inner illumination in full beam for manifestation of the divinity already within us.
