Oh yes...truth really hurts....only if we allow it to. If not it simply heals. Truth when absorbed in totally and practised (rather when the truth is lived), different dimensions of the same truth presents itself before us and leads us to next level, and to the next level and beyond.
A small quote here: Distractions are distractions as long as we feel they are. Fall in tune with the distractions, they will no longer distract you! says Nithyananda
Being socially polite and hiding the truth only postpones the disciple's progress, also the Master's progress. It is very easy to sit, hear to some discourse, or read a book; and come back to continue the same old life as before. All we need to do is open up to the spirit behind the words of an enlightened one rather than judging, analyzing and thinking too much even before practising them.
The openness to receive ideas which can transform the very inner software is the true listening. Then we shift from questions to quest; from asking 'why' to asking 'how'; from mind to the heart; from the surface to the real core; and from belief to trust.
For a total solution, we need to ask 'How?' Asking 'Why?' will only give us an answer, not a solution! We need techniques, not words - for life solutions.
Just having the curiosity of a child and the sincerity to really work for it gets anyone and everyone there. A little freshness always, wanting to learn more and experience and the deep thirst to know more than what we already know is enough for a jumpstart.
Arjuna, in the Bhagavad Gita keeps speaking (in the whole of the first chapter) until he gets tired...which is when he realizes he knows nothing; and then on Krishna leads him step by step and makes sure he reaches the Ultimate consciousness.
May be, it's good to leave you with a discourse on the Bhagavad Gita delivered by Paramahamsa Nithyananda... http://www.lifebliss.org/video_BG.asp
