The pursuit of truth is more important than the comfort of conformity

1 Q. "The Pursuit of Truth Is More Important than the Comfort of Conformity." "The pursuit of Truth" have been always encouraged by Our Own ancestors and also through Our puranas and upanishads. Wordings like "Satyameva Jayate" & "Satyam Vadha, dharmam chara" always Remembers us of Importance of Truth and being Truthfull. Imagine a frog who is always comfort in the small pond and Never brave enough to Pursuit the Vast Oceans. It will be the same limitations and lack of reality we face In life without Truth. Socrates and Jesus christ can be used as crucial examples when we look into past, who blindly followed truth.

Socrates preached the Truth and was blamed to be poisoning young minds. we remind him as One who gave life for Truth Itself. Jesus Christ Professed for truth and asked the corrupted population to follow it, finally bleeded into death through lies and cheatings. But it is not a small thing that we remind these Pursuiters Only because they followed Truth. By these Initial Understanding throughout 2 this essay we can discuss each and every aspect of the Quote in its entirety. Starting from the Meaning of Truth to the conformity of what Is the real truth, real comfort and so on. Before Pursuing or following truth, we must check into that, what Is truth. Truth, in one go we can say it as the essence of everything. like atom which the world is build of, like cells which our human body is build of, it is the truth which is the essence of everything exist anywhere. Every one and every thing will have their own Truths and ways to find it. Even though every one not try to find it, but anyway it will reach us. Truth is the building stone of all. Budha being very familiar to us searching for the Truth of life and existence and ended up in the ultimate truth of Mahaparinirvana. He found that truth of the life is "Sorrows Remains". If we look into our own life we can took example of Death. We never often discuss about it. Birth and deaths are the first truth we get to know in our life. As I said earlier, even we don't search for us, it reach us. 3 Now being the essence of Truth getting clear, we can dive into the importance of Truth.

Truth, when we take a wider meaning in the case human and society, it is the only thing which will make us realise the real purpose of life and ultimate destination. The journey and process will be different before knowing the truth and after knowing the truth. The Samrat Ashoka always believed that wars and bloods are the pride and meanings of victory. But in the bloodsheds of Kalinga, he realised that truth is different. Realised the truth of peace and love. Later became the ultimate message of Budhism, Truth and compassion. Even today History reminds him for the truth he realised. Truth is the only thing that make us satisfied and enable peace of mind. Lord Sree Rama, who uphold the truth of his father reminds us of the peace of being with truth. People often build a fortress of lies where an shock of truth can easily collapse those. Even though truth can be ultimate, there will be certain challenges we face in its pursuit. 4 Isolation and hatred can be the first and easy fruits yielded in the course of truth. The path of truth can be of hurdles, but the ultimate destination can be beautiful. We can look back into our previous example of Socrates, Christ, Sree Rama, we can see that where the pursuit have taken them. Sometimes to miseries, pain and even to death. Swami Dayananda Saraswathi was poisoned by his own student for the light of truth he gave to the world.

The world is always busy in praising the already established conformities and lies. Sree Narayana Guru, Ayyankali, were even criticised widely in the ancient Kerala society for talking against the lies of caste system and truth of being inclusive. With the time by which truth put his shoes, lie will complete his journey twice. The stories and examples always validates the destinies of some one who decided to pursue the truth. Swimming through the dimensions of truth make us compulsary to think about why people are comfort in some conformities and what are 5 those so called "comfort" and "conformities" in a more wider meaning. Truth is something we want to search and find, but conformities and established prejudices and lies are readymade for us. A baby who is born into the middle of current society, came to know multiple conformities about life and societal procedures. Glorification of patriarchal system, de-valuing women dignity, job oriented studies are all part those "ready made" conformities. But truth is one which he later find through his own journey. For that he want to overcome those comfort zones. Karna from Mahabharatha can be a very important example who always believed in a "ready made" thought that pandavas are his enemy and Dhuryodhana is his faithful friend. He never choose the pursuit of truth to find the reality. Saddam husain, Ossama bin laden are also the products of comfort zone who failed to know the truth of sympathy, love and peace. Now we came to know the real face of being in comfort of conformity. We can further see 6 Into, why we should choose pursuit of happiness over comfort. It is human tendency to be in safe and comfort, scientific tendency of things to be in equilibrium and it is the reality of everything that we choose safe game over challenges. Truth can be bitter, painful, huge, that even break our heart. But it is all about accepting it. In case of lies and comforts or conformities it is only the time of accepting it and with no effort, we can simply follow it blindly. Without knowing it where it is taking us, we believe in those conformities and go with the flow.

We must recognize personalities like Edmund Hilary, Colombus, Neilam strong, who have the bravery of being in the pursuit of truth. The truth of Everest will be a mystery if Hilary was in a comfort of conformity, truth of continents can be long if Columbus never choose long journey over pursuit. With all these it is very clear that it is the journey or pursuit of happiness that take us to the ultimate happiness and peace. 7 As two sides of a coin, there are some points that should be discussed from an opposite angle. People often choose Random Pursuit even knowing the truth. Taking a wider meaning, even knowing that Everest is a place of death zone, people tend to experience or pursue it without proper facilities. So it is not always about the pursuit, it is knowing the truth. You might be already in the truth and knowing the truth, even by then it can even become a comfort. Then it is not wise to leave those in simple terms of being not in a pursuit. People or the world often confuse or get confused between truth and fake truth. The one who realized truth might get comfortable in it. The one who realized that simplicity is the real luxury will follow the simple life, and he will get used to it. Then it will be a foolishness to say him to get out of those comfort. As part of this, new era thinkers often quotes that "Ultimate happiness can even be boring". By these we came into the conclusion when we are aware of the each and every aspect of quote, to summarize, 8. Every One and Every thing in the world have two options. Sleep in the comforts of conformity or wake up and pursue the truth. It is all about the One who decides in between. The journeys can be different, but the ultimate destiny in pursuit of happiness will be worth. We have several number of examples for different people and different stories who choose in between. Britishers who believed that it is white men responsibility to Rule the barbarians pursued the path of comfort and conformity. But ended up giving a wrong message to the world and being an worst example of brutal rulers. Another side we think of our own visionaries like B.R Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi, who always believed of truth of Swaraj and Independence. Believed in truth of Non violence and peace, even though their journey to the truth was very difficult, but ended up worthfull. So, that's why we always ends up in a single quote while discussing about truth is that, "Truth can be pain, But it never came without any gain".

Swimming through the dimensions of truth make us compulsary to think about why people are comfort in some conformities and what are 5 those so called "comfort" and "conformities" in a more wider meaning. Truth is something we want to search and find, but conformities and established prejudices and lies are readymade for us. A baby who is born into the middle of current society, came to know multiple conformities about life and societal procedures. Glorification of patriarchal system, de-valuing women dignity, job oriented studies are all part those "ready made" conformities. But truth is one which he later find through his own journey. For that he want to overcome those comfort zones.
