Once there lived a happy couple who had been together for decades. But after spending years together, the husband was concerned that his wife was not hearing well as she used to hear.

He called his family doctor and asked for suggestions. The doctor told him to test it with a simple idea. The doctor said, “ Stand 40 feet away from her and speak as loud as you would speak to her in a normal conversation. Observe if she hears you. If not, reduce the distance to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so until you get a response. The distance will help us to estimate her requirements for the hearing aid ”.

The next day, the husband saw his wife cooking dinner in the kitchen. So he took the opportunity to check the doctor’s Idea. He got 40 feet away from his wife and asked, “ dear what is there for dinner?” . He waited for a response but did not get any.

He moved a bit closer and asked “ dear, what is there for dinner?”. He still did not get any response from his wife.

He then stood twenty feet away from his wife and asked the same question, hoping he would get a response this time. But the wife did not respond.

He then stood just ten feet away from his wife and asked “ Dear, What is there for dinner.” He did not get any response.

By now the husband was very concerned and felt pity about how bad his wife’s hearing was.

Then he walked right behind her and said, “ Honey, what is there for dinner."

The wife shouted, “John, This is the fifth time I’m saying, CHICKEN..!!”

Moral: DO we really know our own Truth ??

It is often said that Truth has 3 sides. Your Truth, my truth, and the truth itself. Ever since the evolution of mankind, there is no other thing that has kept humans more intrigued by its nature than - The Truth itself. Truth has been a subject of constant inquiry, seeking and has always been part of every human endeavor. Yet it remains mysterious to the most. So what is it? Is truth a Path, Is it a Practice, a goal or is Truth simply the absence of Untrue?

This week we seek to explore all 3 sides of Truth in the Sangha of each other. Any quest is best fulfilled in the company of people who are holding similar questions and zeal to explore new possibilities. So let's come together this week - to explore this familiar yet ever-expanding horizon of Truth or we may say Truthfulness.

We invite you to your own space of love, compassion, and sharing to unravel the phenomenon called Truth. We invite you to Maitri Circle.
