The continuty of the truth

One of the most fundamental nature of truth is "continuity". It's continuous nature. Truth is continuous. Because, it has always existed. There was no time when there was no truth. There will not be any time, without any truth. That is one reason which makes it difficult to achieve. Because, it's continuous. A continuous flow of time exists. A continuous flow of space exists. Go to outside and just look at the sky. What a beauty!!. What a continuous space! Whatever god created, it's amazing. Spectacular beauty. Whatever man created, is pathetic. The diminishing beauty. Look at any creation of God. Moon, Sun and stars...What a beauty. What a pattern. There is a harmony in god's creation. The sun rises in the east every morning. The sun never forgets to do that. We don't realize it. Because, it happens daily. We take it granted, that it will anyway happen. But according to me, it's a miracle. How does the sun knows that it has to rise again tomorrow morning? Where is that underlying consciousness inside sun? It's good to treat the whole universe as a being which has it's own brain/mind/consciousness. Look around you. Everything is a miracle. It's happening by itself. We cant see that because we have become addicted to it. Addicted people cannot recognize miracle. Even an ant is a miracle. A small creature can walk. Can decide up to some extent. Put an obstacle into the ant's path and ant will stop moving, or will change the direction. It's a miracle. How does the ant know that it has to do that? In different different form Truth has appeared. It was impossible but it has become possible. Go watch trees, the birds, mountains, forests - you can see the whole of divine present right there. Because, it is present everywhere every time. That's the beauty of it - Truth is beautiful and easy.

Note the word continuous. It's a beautiful word. Because, there is no break in it. A continuous flow. A continuous flow of a river. The water was flowing and is still flowing...It got a continuity. The continuous flow of the water. Now apply it to the truth. You might feel like attaining the truth. But it may be momentarily. At some point of time, you might know the truth. But the very next moment you may not know that. Because, there is possibility of loosing it. Because, truth unless achieved completely is discontinuous in the nature. That discontinuity is the biggest problem to the humanity. On a certain day you might feel very elated, very enlightened. But some another day you may not feel that. This happens. This happens very frequently. If you plot the graph of the degree of attained truth it will be sinusoidal. You might digitize it to make it discontinuous. Buddha's graph of his enlightenment will be a horizontal line. Because, it has reach to it's maximum. Now it won't go down. Just remains horizontal. So after certain threshold, there is not chance of falling. No chance of discontinuity. Truth will be continuous for you only when you achieve it by 100%. Otherwise it's discontinuous. Highly discontinuous. I would say randomly discontinuous. So, achieve it fully. Then only you know it.
