Where truth is ... falsehood is not. Brahman is truth. The Self cannot be attained without practising truth. Suffering is the result of false relationships, false fears, false ideas. Liberation is truth. How is this liberation realised? Through right action of mind, speech and body. That is jnana, that is freedom, that is moksha. Self enquiry is constant truth. Maintaining the quest even in the midst of worldly duties ensures right action. Ever Yours in Sri Bhagavan, Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
