TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
A group of people visiting a magnificent church, came across a large clock next to the bell tower.
>> What attracted the visitors, more than the clock, was the caption written beneath the large clock!
It seems that the clock was habitually too fast or too slow.
>> And so, a good old-sacristan realising that it was beyond repair, decided to write a caption on the placard.
The caption read: “Neither believe nor blame what my hands show!
The trouble lies deeper!
>> Therefore, even in life, ensure that you set your interior right, so that your externals display the truth!”
The hands of the clock displayed wrong timings…
… because the interior parts had some trouble!
So often are our external actions such in life!
We seem to be putting on a show outside…
… but the truth of the action can be known, only if the interior intention is true!
We seem to be good at displaying a clean image…
… but the sincerity of our deeds will be known, if we truly ensure purity from within!
