Thinking We Know the Truth Is Corruption
The ultimate truth cannot be comprehended or grasped mentally. Whenever we do this, we corrupt the pure experience.
Comprehend: Latin comprehendere, from com- ‘together’ + prehendere ‘grasp’.
Corrupt: Latin corrumpere ‘to mar, bribe, destroy’, from cor-‘altogether’ + rumpere ‘to break’.
Pure consciousness is beyond words, definitions, and long, long commentaries. It is the simplest aspect of life. It’s the starting point and the finishing line. When we ignore this principle, we muck around in between, in the mud of ingenious conceit.
Whatever you think you know – give it up. 🙂
