TRUTH ~!~




A childhood story reminds us of several blind men touching an elephant
and reporting their own impression of what an Elephant is like.




Depending on individual perception of Life, there is no “ The Truth “,
but simply  “ A Truth.


Knowing and experiencing Truth requires intuitive common sense or
earthly sense. Ants, Reptiles, Dogs, Hogs and Birds seem to have an
earthly sense ; unlike intellectuals that are constantly looking outwards
for the unknown, unseen, and undefinable ~~




It seems that for humans to become grounded necessitates passionate bend
in the arts such as music, painting, sculpting, culinary, nature walking and diving
under the sea of waters to whet the appetite of being and becoming an integral
part of Nature all around us as well as within ourselves.


Genuine Seekers of Truth may not necessarily be the so-called religious
individuals. Seekers are looking beyond rudimentary God, Heaven, Hell and
their physicalities. Instead, Seekers transcend the limitations of books, body,
mind and intellect.  Based on their soulful inner experiences they have suggested
that “ The Universe that lies outside of us is identical to the Universe that lies
inside of us in equal measure ( Vedanta Philosophy of Life ) ”. It is the
boundaryless and timeless cosmic Universe and its eternal wisdom…
the word eternal implying that it is without a beginning nor an end.
 The Absolute Truth is an indescribable  inner experience. Only the
Self-ignorant seem to have the courage to define it with limitations of their own
inexperiences.     


Ultimately it seems that each one of us is the Messiah or vibration of our own
conscious awareness condensing into eternal bliss ( सदचिदानंद  स्वरूप ) , beyond
which no tangible or emotional need arises.  


The genuine and fearlessly independent Seekers have also prompted and
affirmed through timeless space of inner experiences that the absolute or
ultimate Truth is an identical experiential realisation for every Seeker,
 irrespective of geography and respective culture.


Life is a rhythmic Tango of duality between the incoming breath and the
outgoing breath, which lasts until the incoming breath ceases to participate.




Intellectualism and the simlicity of Common Sense seldom dance Tango
of life together in harmony.


By establishing ourself in steadied silence within ourself through Yoga of union, we make ourselves available to the wisdom of cosmic Truth.


The ultimate Truth ~!~, seems like Self discovery of being and becoming complete from within our own total silence beyond any tangibility. Anyone trying to define and confine Truth with Self-ignorance seems to be drifting farther and farther away from it; for Truth and nothing but the whole Truth  resides in each one of us, in equal measure, at all times. Unawareness of Truth is existence.

A flowering plant effortlessly expresses Truth of existence through its full blossom.

Since childhood, I have adored the sight of the Big Dipper along with the North Star in the deep blue starlit sky. Today through the help of Hindu mythological perspective, it is tempting to interpret this celestial scene to be symbolic of Seven Seekers of Truth ( सप्त ऋषि ) focussing their soulful attention in the direction of the North Star ( ध्रुव तारा ) to realize and experience the eternal cosmic Truth, which may only be written on the ocean waves, running water stream, or the deep blue sky.
