he truth is not a question

[Guest guest]

The way to truth is hard; it is an uphill task. One has to go through

total death -- one has to destroy oneself utterly-only then is the

new born. The resurrection is only after the crucifixion.

To avoid the crucifixion we have created beliefs. Beliefs are very

cheap. You can believe and you remain the same. You can go on

believing, and it doesn't require any basic change in your life

pattern. It does not require any change in your consciousness, and

unless your consciousness changes, the belief is just a toy. You can

play with it, you can deceive yourself with it, but it is not going

to nourish you.

Visualize that a child is playing in the garden of his house, playing

with imaginary lions, and then suddenly he has to face a real lion

who has escaped from the zoo. Now he does not know what to do. He is

simply scared out of his wits. He is paralyzed; he cannot even run.

He was perfectly at ease with the imaginary, but with the real he

does not know what to do.

That is the situation of all those people who go on playing with

beliefs, concepts, philosophies, theologies. They ask questions just

to ask questions. The answer is the last thing they are interested

in. They don't want the answer. They go on playing with questions,

and each answer helps them to create more questions. Each answer is

nothing but a jumping board for more questions.

The truth is not a question.
