There is a lawyer inside our mind, who always judges and
defends whatever we think of as the truth. If this lawyer is
interested in truth, we can create an entirely different society,
but unfortunately he is not. A mind which is incapable of
seeing the difference between an illusion and a truth, can
only bring disorder in its action. An illusion is nothing but
accepting a non-fact as the truth and vice versa. Don’t think
that this lawyer has only been destroying society, he has been
destroying our own life too, because we are missing out on
the strength and energy that we get when we perceive truth.
Now, can you look at the lawyer inside you and have some
fun watching him? Because only when you extend the hand
of friendship towards him, can you understand the lawyer and
negate him effortlessly, not when you say I must live without
that lawyer. Please remember that ‘understanding’ is the only
task you are left with, and you can’t be lazy about this.
My dear friends, I don’t know whether you can see it or
not, but how beautiful and happy our life would be, if we all
stood for truth. In that stand, you may lose many things which
you hold very dear to yourself, but that very losing makes you
nothing and nothing contains everything. Is not this lawyer
nothing but our own psychological knowledge? Things that
our parents told us, the books that we read, different political,
religious, social influences on our mind, all of these form
this lawyer. But the question is, how much do we purify the
content before taking it for granted? What if this lawyer is
just a bundle of knowledge and memories? That’s why it is
said, with knowledge comes ignorance. We are talking about
psychological knowledge, not technological knowledge. The
ability to look at something with a simple mind is the key
to happiness in life, not running after money, sex, power or
position.
