Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta's column: Attempts to Seek Truth Increases

Machine and humanity are openly competing. Humanity has flown like a scarecrow in the storm of science. When we make human effort—what we call manual—we are closer to the truth. The possibility of truth increases in life when you try yourself, but when the machine is fully grounded, it is easier for the untruth to enter. Half of our country's population is in the grip of lies. A lot of people lie intentionally, but more people lie unknowingly. That is why psychologists say that lying is also a disease. If you want to avoid lying, go closer to humanity. Truth, compassion, non-violence, love, belongingness, desire for others – all these together are humanity. One more thing is written in the scriptures that when words are used extra, lies get an opportunity to enter the words. The tongue doesn't lie, the mind behind the tongue lies. So make a practice of speaking so that every word comes out touching the truth.
