The Truth Does Not Grow

When mind knows, we call it knowledge.
When the heart knows, we call it love.
When being knows, we call it meditation. At the very center of your being there is nothing but silence.

Omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence.

The truth does not grow; only recognition grows, remembrance grows.

The personality has to be dropped so that your individuality can be discovered.

Mind cannot be still. Your brain is created by nature, but your mind is created by the society you live in. Mind is a created phenomenon. Any problem rooted in the mind cannot be solved without transcending the mind. A problem can solved only when you can go beyond it. If you cannot go beyond it, then you are the problem. A problem rightly understood is solved.
