truth...

"Truth is no theory, no speculative system of philosophy, no intellectual insight.  Truth is exact correspondence with reality.  For man, truth is unshakable knowldege of his real nature, his Self as soul.  Jesus, by every act and word of his life, proved that he knew the truth of his being -his source in God.  Wholly identified with the omnipresent Christ Consciousness, he could say with simple finality: 'Everyone that is of the truth heareth my voice.'

Buddha, too, refused to shed light on the metaphysical ultimate, dryly pointing out that man's few moments on earth are best employed in perfecting the moral nature. The Chinese mystic Lao-tzu rightly taught: 'He who knows, tells it not; he who tells, knows it not.' The final mysteries of God are not 'open to discussion.'  The decipherment of His secret code is an art that man cannot communicate to man; here the Lord alone is the Teacher.  -Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda
