As our intellect matures, a timeless question arises: What is Truth?
From childhood, we are handed answers—through textbooks, scriptures, and traditions. These shape our early understanding. But life often challenges these beliefs. Words—however poetic or logical—cannot capture the living essence of Truth.
Think of Buddha, Mahavira, or Krishna. Their wisdom came through deep inner realization. Their words may guide us, but Truth must be experienced—not borrowed.
Consider a parable: in darkness, a rope may appear as a snake. Fear arises not from reality, but from illusion. Only by moving closer does clarity emerge. Likewise, Truth demands courage—to question, to look within, and to see beyond appearances.
Even sacred texts lose their purity over time, buried under layers of interpretation. We often protect our egos behind rituals and appearances. Lies feel safe; Truth is raw—and often uncomfortable.
In movies, we all identify with the hero, but rarely with the villain. Yet in real life—even the perpetrators of the horrific Nirbhaya case did not perceive themselves as evil. Everyone clings to their version of “truth.”
So, what is Truth?
It is not found in law books or religious dogma. Truth is neutral, unowned—beyond belief and ideology. It is a living awareness: vast, innocent, and paradoxically nothing and everything. To know it, we must deprogram what feeds the ego.
To realize Truth, we must awaken the self. The path is not easy, but this brings clarity.
Truth does not kill in the name of belief. It reveals, transforms, liberates—and enables unconditional love & compassion. It is presence—pure, childlike, cosmic—for whom life and death are alike.
Avoiding Truth deepens suffering. It is not divine punishment—but the natural consequence of living against the intelligent creation.
So, walk the path—however uncertain. For in the eyes of the Omnipotent (loZ’kfäeku~), Omnipresent (loZO;kih), and Omniscient (loZK), there is no division. Neither there is need to worship it out of fear, nor shall there be desire to become like it—only the innocent and must yearning for direct experience.
That is Truth!!
