Truth Is Not A Religion 

Truth is not a religion, 
or an academic theory. 

Our essential nature is not a religious thing; it is the followers who turn it into something religious. We are consciousness, aware of whatever is taking place in front of us. When consciousness looks in on itself, it cannot find anything. This is the shock of realising that we are unadulterated consciousness, pure consciousness.

Religious people and philosophers give this fancy names and write volumes of commentaries about it. But it’s something we have to realise, rather than read about. The problem is that we fall for all these names and terminologies as if we actually know something. To the uninitiated, these words sound awesome, but to the initiated, they are just empty sounds.

Actual knowingness has nothing to do with being religious or philosophical. Becoming bound up in a religion or philosophy puts a stop to further progress. It has the opposite effect to genuine freedom and empathetic compassion – and we see this everywhere.

The more we realise the truth, the simpler it all gets, 
and the more we understand the confusion.
