The Courage to Seek the Truth

The Courage to Seek the Truth

The truth cannot be captured in the loops of time. You know and suspect that the truth exists and is calling you. It is a strange magnetism. It feels like a necessity and not like a space for a free decision.
You want to seek and find the truth, but you hide behind a thousand lies.

You want to touch reality, but it slips through your fingers like amorphous matter, non-matter.

You chase after it and chase after it to catch it, the truth that is so difficult to grasp!

Admit to yourself that you cannot catch up with it, not even with your being good and better and your ever-increasing activities. It cannot be captured in the loops of time.

You feel that it is laughing at you. Everything that is not true is ridiculous, and you know it.

You start to sit around idly and tell yourself that you have to contemplate and meditate in order to wait in peace and quiet for the truth. “It is everywhere, in you, in me. So I don’t have to do anything “.

What are you saying to yourself? Stop playing with the truth; stop thinking that you can think and understand it and explain the concepts of truth to everyone around you like a teacher.

You see what a caricature, what a folly your efforts are. Yes, you learn through it, you and your soul – but for how long, through how many times and historical epochs?

You know and suspect that the truth exists and is calling you. It is a strange magnetism. It feels like a necessity and not like a space for a free decision.

The magnetism of truth follows its own plan. It attracts us and does not wait. It is a spontaneous inner movement. We feel the attraction of truth and have to give in to it.

And yet it takes courage!

The courage to not be.

The courage to live on this earth, in the “theatre of the world “, in the marketplace of truths.

The courage to pounce on the truth as soon as it appears and commit to it in your soul – because we love it dearly. She lives in love.

The courage to look, whenever it shows itself.

The courage to recognise the simple truth of earthly hardship and the hidden truth of heavenly, spiritual life.

But above all, stay sober. It is important to live it. It wants to become you.
