[Question by Dr. Sheshadri Thiruvenkadam (Balaji).] The true knowledge is the only solution to remove the hindrance caused by any factor. Truth is infinite force and can remove any hindrance. God in human form, the Sadguru, alone can give the true knowledge as said by the Vedas (Satyam Jnanam Anantam Brahma). When there is truth in the knowledge, there is force spontaneously. That force will enter the devotion and also enter the subsequent service. No force in the worldly bond can hinder this. Shankara says that the highest fortune is to get Sadguru (Maha Purusha Samshrayah). Truth is always logical. The force of the truth is the value of truth itself, which is its content. Truth is the gold and logic is the design of the ornament. The value is for the gold only. There can be the ornament of rolled gold. Similarly, there can be falsehood with the same logic. The value of the rolled gold-ornament also appears to be equal to the golden ornament for sometime. But shortly the rolled gold gets corroded and loses its value and in such case, the same design of the ornament cannot bring the value. Similarly, a logical false concept also convinces you for a short time only. But in course of time, it weakens and fades away. The true concept is eternal and stays as long as the creation exists.
