“True knowledge exists in knowing and stating your own
truth.”
If you have the power to abide by truth, if you have
thrust for knowledge then no one can stop you from learning. “Satyakama” is a young boy who yearns for knowledge. He is in quest of
finding a guru. His determination is not shaken even when no one is ready to
preach him. He kept pondering about the questions like “Where did I come from?””Who
am I?””What is the truth of life?” Is my origin from river which finally meets
the ocean or From the Sky or From the Drop of rain which finally meets the
river? Like every river has two banks, where is our other side?
And the
only answer he used to get was food is the ultimate truth till one day when he
meets Guru Gautama and pleads to accept him as his disciple. When enquired
about his father and gotra(lineage) , Satyakama rushes to his home to seek
answer from his mother. Jabala,a women to stand by truth, preaches the same to
her son and asks him to tell his guru , that He is Son of Jabala, Satyakama
Jabala as she isnt aware of his father. The moment guru hears Satyakama truth; he
agrees to accept him as his disciple.
Now the
question arises how did Guru Gautama accept Satyakama as his disciple even
after knowing the truth? For a while, even I got impatient to know the reason
behind guru’s decision. The strong message which guru wanted to convey by his
act was “Truth can only lead to Truth. A person who can speak truth, who can
hear the truth deserves to know the ultimate knowledge”.
