The Zen master says “Do not strive to seek the truth; only cease to cherish opinions.” The Sufi master says “Knowledge of truth cannot be attained by seeking, but only those who seek it find it.”
The one idea closest to truth, summarizing the Absolute-Relative polarity, is expressed both in The Bhagavad Gita and The Gospel of Thomas, and I am sure elsewhere, particularly in European Phenomenology. Gita 2:16 says “What is real cannot not be; what is unreal cannot be. This has been realized by the seers of truth.” In … More The Gospel of Thomas & The Gita
Dated August 21st, 2013 The question rose, in spite of my instinctual optimism, whether humanity and its civilization was essentially masochistic and self-destructive!

In the face of truth everything is mere opinion. To face the truth is to face away from opinions, and above all to face away from opinions about truth. What stands between man and truth is the baggage of his convictions. In the path toward the source our ideas and symbols are only to play … More Truth and Tradition

See that with regard to the phenomenal world you are the vessel and not that which is in the vessel. The world happens to you and before you. World is that which is continually experienced, but you … More The Flux of Revelation
Life is the dream of separation; it is our reality and God’s nightmare. We are characters in the subconscious of a daydreaming God. As all characters of subconscious are expressions of the tendencies within one consciousness, we too though appearing separate from one another are one n spirit and essence and only different in temperaments … More Existence: The Dream of Separation
Of all our human traits and capacities none is closer to and more worthy of God than our silence, for any act or utterance takes away from the inexpressible splendor of truth. The essence of spiritual life is about becoming so little and quiet that nothing but truth remains to be seen or heard. Thus, … More Let There Be God
