What
is the Truth? What do you mean when you speak of ``the Truth''?
You
want a mental definition of the Truth. The Truth cannot be expressed
in mental terms. Yes, it is so. And all the questions put are mental
questions.
The
Truth cannot be formulated, it cannot be defined it is to be it
lived.
And
one who is wholly consecrated to the Truth, who wants to live the
Truth, serve the Truth, will know at each moment what must be done:
it will be a kind of intuition or revelation (most often without
words, but sometimes also expressed in words) which will make you
know at every minute what is the truth of that minute. And it is
this that is so interesting. You want to know ``the Truth'' as a
thing well defined, well classified, well established, and after
that you are at rest: there is no need to seek any more! You take
it up, you say: ``Here, this is the Truth'' and then it is fixed.
This is what all the religions have done. They have established
their truth as a dogma. But it is not the Truth any more.
The
Truth is something living, moving, expressing itself at each second,
and it is it one way of approaching the Supreme. Each one has his
way of approaching the Supreme. There are perhaps some who are able
to approach him from all sides at the same time, but there are those
who approach through Love, those who approach through Power, those
who approach through Consciousness and those who approach through
Truth. But each of these aspects is as absolute, imperative and
undefinable as the supreme Lord himself is. The supreme Lord is
absolute, imperative and undefinable, unseizable in his action,
and his attributes have this same quality.
Once
one knows this, he who puts himself at the service of one of these
aspects will know (it is expressed in life, in time, in the movement
of time), will know at each moment what Truth is, and will know
at each moment what Consciousness is, and will know at each minute
what Power is, and he will know at each minute what Love is. And
it is a multiform Power, Love, Consciousness, Truth that expresses
itself innumerably in the manifestation, even as the Lord expresses
himself innumerably in the manifestation.
