What is Truth?

The Truth cannot be put into words. It can only be experienced directly in quiet observation.

"You cannot see Reality with your mind." -- Zen

The mind is filter that you (the observer) experiences life through -- it is a collection of perceptions, beliefs, concepts, narratives, and words conditioned by one's personal and ancestral past. We get attached to the mind and can only see life through its limited perspective -- duality, ego, craving, aversion, and fear of death.

According to the 8-limbed Path of Yoga to see the Truth one must purify the mind with meditation. Through the practice of meditation (awareness and non-attachment) the mind becomes purified of all conditioned perceptions, beliefs, etc. and all that remains is the experience of the Truth.

Do you meditate?
