The Myth of the Whole Truth

Because the experience is unexplainable, all the greatest sacred books of all times are really books of half-truths and half-lies.

This isn’t an insult—it’s a revelation.

No scripture, however exalted, has ever captured the raw, wordless pulse of the Real. What they offer are sketches of shadows on the wall of a fire no mind can touch. Symbols masquerading as substance. Descriptions chasing something that dissolves the moment language arrives.

Truth isn’t what’s written—it’s what remains when writing fails.

Those who encountered the Infinite didn’t leave behind instruction manuals. They left metaphors, myths, and paradoxes—each shaped by the lens of a time, a culture, a mind trying to say what cannot be said. The half-truth lies in the gesture toward transcendence. The half-lie forms when that gesture becomes fixed, dogmatized, and taken as absolute.

And yet, there’s beauty in the attempt. Even the most distorted scripture carries a scent of the ineffable. But to follow that scent requires radical honesty—the willingness to discard even the sacred if it becomes a substitute for direct knowing.

Experience doesn’t need belief. It doesn’t argue. It doesn’t convert.

It just is—before the page, before the priest, before the thought.

The final surrender is not to a teaching, but to the silence underneath it.

Amid Unseen Certainty

In the theatre of the cosmos, I find myself seated at the crossroads of belief and disbelief. On one hand, the theist, passionately defended his faith, on the other, the atheist steadfastly voiced his skepticism. I observe this dialogue as an unbiased spectator, each side offering a symphony of thoughts that forms a rich intellectual melody that resonates within me.

The perspectives of both sides, while individually lacking, together form a harmony of understanding – a beautifully balanced symphony of truths. Yet, they both remain blind to the grand paradox of The Divine. They fail to see the absolute truth that lies beyond their debates and egoic elaborations. Each side carries half-truths, their narratives incomplete. Yet, when one seeks the truth without prejudice, one will find it nestled between these opposing views.

Imagine, if this feuding pair could set aside their biases and focus on the core essence of their dispute. Perhaps then, they would reach a mutual understanding. This central concept transcends belief, yet is palpable to all. It’s the lifeblood of The Creator, the kernel of existence, a notion born from our perception of the Divine.

What I aim to unveil here will always remain shrouded in an enigma – it is a Presence that is boundless, eternal, and omnipresent. It is the canvas upon which all things are etched, the continuum that always was is, and forever will be. This Presence is indestructible, without origin or destination, with nothing to gain or lose. If it were to vanish, only Nothingness would endure, a testament to its pervasive existence.

So, what could possibly possess such omnipotence? The answer remains elusive and unattainable. All we can do is marvel at its manifestations, reflected in the world around us.

Through an enlightened lens, you’ll see that the answer permeates all things. Its existence validates your existence. Once you recognize its presence, engage with it, smile at it, and it will reciprocate in kind.

And what is this enigma that I speak of? Esteemed mystics like Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh have alluded to it. It is echoed in the sacred Upanishads. While the truth of it is simple, its revelation can evoke overwhelming wonder. Yet, its description eludes the confines of language and perplexes the contemplative mind. So, what is the answer? It is, was, and will forever be: Existence.
