Truth

It is a person’s behaviour that shows whether or not they possess it

December 7th 2025
Many people claim to have found the truth, but when you see how they behave, it becomes obvious that this is not so. Since their actions are not inspired by the light of the intellect and the warmth of the heart, that is, by wisdom and love, they constantly make mistakes. It is a person’s behaviour that shows whether they are living in truth, not the theories and flights of fancy they hold forth about. The extraordinary thing is that human beings see truth as an abstraction, whereas in fact, it is their everyday actions that demonstrate whether or not they are in possession of it.
It is impossible to define the truth, because it does not exist as such. Only love and wisdom exist. So we must stop claiming that we hold the truth. There is nothing to claim: if you possess love and wisdom, you will have no need to say anything; your actions will speak for you.*
