On Khalil Gibran: The simple, continuous, ubiquitous call of Truth is easy to miss

The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

He may be here, and he may call her.

But like many others she may not hear.

-Khalil Gibran

Question (Q): Why can’t he hear? What stops him from hearing?

Acharya Prashant (AP): He is asking, “When there is the Call and the Caller, why can’t the Caller himself make the Call heard?”

How do you know that you are not hearing?

Is it possible that the Truth calls and the sons of Truth refuse to hear? Is it possible?

How are you so sure that you do not hear the call of Truth?

I am asking you, “How do you know that you are not hearing his call?”

You do not know.

All you have is images about the call. All you have is images about the response to the call. When you find that what is happening in your life does not correspond with the images, then you end up concluding that the Truth is not calling you. And you have fantastic images.
