in search of truth ...

both Gandhi & Osho have worked and written about "in search of truth" ... and as a born contrarian, i think about everything differently & i wonder ...

how do you know that something is a truth, when you are still searching .. or
how do you know about something that you in search, is/will be a truth ..?

taking an example and inverting the original statement, if you are searching for gold, you have to know what gold looks like, isn't it? or giving a stupid example, if no one has seen gold before, & you find silver, and call it gold, i assume everyone will believe you, if you have a charisma/marketing skills like Gandhi

which means that both of these frauds had their own "local truth or beliefs" and they used other people to experiment on them to prove those beliefs, & in parallel they would say, they were in search for, rather, they wanted the world to believe their shitty crap .. & yes, you are not going to get better words than these, especially on Gandhi from me.

to me, "what's in front of you is the truth ..!" now what's in front of you may or may not be is real .. or whether you accept it or not as real .. or whether general population accepts it or not, is immaterial .. it's only what you see is the truth; or precisely, what you can perceive within you .. as what you are seeing is nothing but a perception within you.

& as a side effect of this, i try hard to see the world "just the way it is .." .. with no judgements or aim to fix, .. well, to fix something, you have to believe that its broken first ...

e.g. people steal or cheat all the time .. some chose to live that way, while others don't ... that's the way it is .. there have been thieves & cheaters since the history is written, & there have been people who steal/cheat occasionally, not sure if anyone has never done it ..

& by not accepting that it is a fact, it wouldn't change .. rather, it is the truth ..!
