Once a group of bandits reached their hut and asked the monk - some time ago a group of traders came out of this route. have you seen them? Kaushik saw them. They had also understood the intention of the bandits. Now the problem faced by the monk was that he had never said untruth in his life. Therefore, they could not speak untruth. On telling the truth, the lives of traders were in danger.
Kaushik got very confused. He was silent for a moment. There was a duality of truth and untruth in his mind. The chieftain of the bandits again said to the monk - You are truthful, please tell which side of the traders have gone? Kaushika finally spoke. She did not give up her resolve to stick to the truth. He gestured to the bandits with the gesture of another merchant who had gone.
According to this legend described in the Karna festival of Mahabharata, the bandits looted a group of helpless traders and killed those who resisted.
Kaushik proved to be completely truthful. The fame he had in the world turned into a catastrophe in an instant. Now people started hating him. They were not given any kind of respect.
The essence is that speaking the truth is always best, but such truth is not of any use which becomes fatal for others. It is a great thing to follow the truth, but it is not right to be a stereotype. Such truth, which causes suffering for others, is incomplete. This leads to inferiority. With such truthful thinking, everyone is at a loss, no one ever gets any benefit.
