Truth
How to define truth as truth varies with different people. It may be truth for one person but for another person it my be bunch of lies. Hence it is very deep subject for which various Saints, Philosophers, Wise Men had spent their whole lives after searching the truth.
It is said that Buddha left his kingdom and family in the search of truth. He show suffering and death in his life time and wanted to find the peace in life in his search of truth.
Krishna said ' One has to do wrong in order to achieve right'. That is also truth according to him. Duryodhan once said 'He knows what is right i.e. Truth but he cannot practice it'. Yudhister who never told lies in his life but once he told 'Narova or Kunjarvaa' (i.e.'Man or Animal' he said in Mahabharata War) in order to protect Dharma i.e. Ultimate truth. Therefore truth varies with people.
Besides that once a truth does not remain truth and it may varies with the time. Aristotle was follower of Plato but when he differed with Plato latter on he said' My friends Plato was great but truth is greater than him.' Mahatma Gandhi said that 'what he said should not be considered as ultimate truth because it may get change with future experiences. Hence there should not be any hesitation for change in search of truth.
Aurangzeb, Mogul Emperor was enjoying in cruelty but with the time he found that simple and religious life is the only truth behind peace of mind. That was his ultimate truth of life.
Therefore nobody should be under illusion that what ever he believes and see is the ultimate truth.
