Truth is Beyond Words

That which can be defined is not truth. Words arise from the limited world of the mind and truth is that which is beyond words. The human mind has created the languages and from there all the words, from God to the world, got their existence. But truth is beyond all boundaries of the mind. The mind cannot assimilate what is beyond it; so it tries to give words to all that which it cannot comprehend. Truth cannot be described by words; what truth is can be known only from some other dimension. Truth can be experienced but not explained or expressed. Truth cannot be given to you; especially if you are following an organized religion, then truth will be as far from you as darkness is from light. Truth is not found by observing rituals, undertaking pilgrimages or reading the scriptures. It is simply a waste of time.

This path is pathless; every single person has to seek his own way. There isn’t any highway on which you can just walk and reach the truth. It is an intensely personal journey. Only the brave ones walk on this path. The weak are happy with reading the hollow words of the scriptures or lean on false promises given by false gurus, who are ever ready to bring fools, illiterate, blind and ritualistic people into their fold. Truth can be found in one’s self, in one’s self alone. It cannot be found anywhere other than in the self; as such, it cannot be defined in words.
