It might be that or a part of that or perhaps a step to the Truth. It is not clear how one definitively take a step to the Truth One Is. Sometimes I think there is no Seeing the Truth because there is only Being the Truth. Probably there is something between Seeing and Being which preserves the identity or a seer. Maybe Seeing is Being when there is no Seer. Love Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
