Truth is that elusive Holy Grail which engages but haunts all of humankind like some mysterious yet spiritual treasure hunt about to yield answers / spiritual riches. Does it ever? No and Yes. No because 'tis intangible: an ideal, a concept, a mirage invented by collective human conscience..... Yes, because subject to nature as also, nurture and coupled with education, refinement, personal growth et al, every individual evolves an unique interpretation of Truth. [She also decides - rather early in life, according to case studies of Behavioural Science - just what and how dominant a role Truth would play in her journey through life!] So, what IS Truth? Is it the acme' of precision, exactitude, factuality with no lieu, leverage or leeway re' imagination / fabrication / prevarication? Or, is it the ultimate state of enlightenment one attains through rigorous, tenacious and conscientious introspection? Both. Its essentially a (very) personal quest for self-actualization. Some of us are persevering and ultimately, fortunate enough to arrive at our own interpretation and realization of Truth. A rare few of us are well and truly blessed to understand and appreciate the universal interpretation of Truth. But only the rarest of rare are rent aglow by its luminescence; for them Truth is an Aurora Borealis: Rama, Jesus , Buddha..... But then, the aforementioned happen to be avatars. We mayn't ever be able to hold a candle to 'em but should it restrain us from our journey into the innermost niches of our soul? It shouldn't. Let Truth be the means as also, the end: a very befitting one indeed. Think about it!.....
