Going beyond knowing: - questioning assumptions
There is a difference between truth and knowledge. Truth is what we want to know, but what we know, actually that is not the truth, it is just our knowledge ! A quote from an ancient Indian classic, RigveD presents this idea succinctly, - "Ekam sad vipraha bahuda vadanti", meaning “Truth is one; the wise describe ‘it’ in different ways”! This quote can confuse us, disappoint us as we realise inadequacy of our knowledge , but actually it challenges us to question what we know and what we are told . It tells us that we should be seekers, active individuals finding our own truth, and not followers of someone else's truth which is not the absolute truth . As truth is one, but described in many dif ferent forms!
