Why do We not see Truth?

Question

What is getting ready to happen is not about being damned. We do that to ourselves already.
It is about Our Creator giving Us an opportunity to be RAISED UP!
To the Higher Worlds.

Answer 1

Thruth is a to be proven otherwise. Really you can not see truth with your eyes but you will come to it is true.

Answer 2

If you DON'T KNOW how to do something, LEARN
If you still CAN'T DO something, then DONT DO IT

Don't force yourself doing something you know you just can't. Not that you're not intelligent enough or anything... sometimes, it is just beyond our own capacity of accomplishing tasks. There are countless of things we could do in a day... but there are just some things we have to do sometime later, or maybe just leave it till another day...

Learning is one way to help ourselves. Many of us never knew how to use the computer some time ago... how did we end up here today?

I used to tell my students this when I was teaching Kickboxing some time back in KL... Many people often come up to me with the word "I can't do it"... or "I don't know how?!"... and you can immediately see their lost faces. Not that they're bad or anything. Its good that they know when to take a break and evaluate what to be done and learn how to do it... "If you don't know, then learn... if you can't then you never will"

Many of them eventually became good in the sport. Of course, with proper enthusiasm and spirit--- this is another important factor in learning a skill or an art... which takes time to cultivate (develop).

So does this apply to the mind-factor. How many of us are willing to take time to learn more about the nature of our monkey mind? It is so hard to control... so hard to discipline and so hard to stay still.

My teacher often tell me about how similar is our mind to the mirror... or water, or earth, or wind... or the tree... have it in any other way nature appears to be. The mind is a natural force within us. The more we cultivate it, the more we train it, eventually it will become a powerful tool in our life!

Answer 3

Because of differences in vision, people see differently. Materially there are three ways one can see the truth. It is just like a person wearing a red , green or yellow glasses and accordingly one will see everything having that color.
In Bhagavad-gita, Lord Krishna states regarding knowledge,

1. Goodness - That knowledge by which one undivided spiritual nature is seen in all living entities, though they are divided into innumerable forms

2. Passion - That knowledge by which one sees that in every different body there is a different type of living entity

3. Ignorance - That knowledge by which one is attached to one kind of work as the all in all, without knowledge of the truth, and which is very meager.

Now, spiritually also there are three ways one sees the same Absolute just like one sees materially the relative truth.
1. Jnani - sees as Brahman, impersonal all pervading light.
2 Yogi - sees as localized Paramatma in the heart with atma
3. Bhakta - sees Bhagavan, Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna as the source of Brhaman and Paramatma.

Brahman is the sat (eternity) feature of Absolute truth, Paramatma is the sat and cit (eternity and knowledge) feature of the Absolute truth and Bhagavan is the complete, ie., sat, cit and ananda (eternity, knowledge and bliss) feature of the Absolute truth.

See the following purport from Bhagava-gita-As-It-Is (2.2), by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, (International Society for Krishna Consciousness)

"The Absolute Truth is realized in three phases of understanding by the knower of the Absolute Truth, and all of them are identical. Such phases of the Absolute Truth are expressed as Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan."

These three divine aspects can be explained by the example of the sun, which also has three different aspects, namely the sunshine, the sun's surface and the sun planet itself. One who studies the sunshine only is the preliminary student. One who understands the sun's surface is further advanced. And one who can enter into the sun planet is the highest. Ordinary students who are satisfied by simply understanding the sunshine—its universal pervasiveness and the glaring effulgence of its impersonal nature—may be compared to those who can realize only the Brahman feature of the Absolute Truth. The student who has advanced still further can know the sun disc, which is compared to knowledge of the Paramatma feature of the Absolute Truth. And the student who can enter into the heart of the sun planet is compared to those who realize the personal features of the Supreme Absolute Truth. Therefore, the bhaktas, or the transcendentalists who have realized the Bhagavan feature of the Absolute Truth, are the topmost transcendentalists, although all students who are engaged in the study of the Absolute Truth are engaged in the same subject matter. The sunshine, the sun disc and the inner affairs of the sun planet cannot be separated from one another, and yet the students of the three different phases are not in the same category.

Answer 4

it s not that we cannot see the truth...but when it comes on to ourselves we prefer a state of denial. we diliberately choose to go the wrong way because initialy it suits. so to see or more like know and follow the truth we must try to be as honest to ourselves about ourselves and our actions as we can. selfanalysis is the best way of gain the truth. it gives you vision about yourself, your world and gives u a lot of insight
