Truth is simple

Truth is simple and open to all. Why do you complicate?

Truth is loving and lovable. It includes all, accepts all, purifies

all. It is untruth that is difficult and a source of trouble. It

always wants, expects, demands. Being false, it is empty,

always in search of confirmation and reassurance. It is afraid

of and avoids enquiry. It identifies itself with any support,

however weak and momentary. Whatever it gets, it loses and

asks for more. Therefore put no faith in the conscious. Nothing

you can see, feel, or think is so. Even sin and virtue, merit

and demerit are not what they appear. Usually the bad and

the good are matter of convention and custom and are shunned

or welcomed, according to how the words are used.
