If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Truth
The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.
-Ayn Rand
The moment you follow someone you cease to follow truth.
-J. Krishnamurti
Birth is an illusion, so is death. Truth is the element which makes both these
extremes of life meet. The day you recognize it, from then onwards, whenever,
whatever and how much ever you desire...you will get it.
-Deep Trivedi
The "truth" of every moment is new, different and ever changing. Hence, the
things said thousands of years ago could be true in the context of "time, situation
and circumstances" prevalent at that time, but it is not necessary that they hold
relevance even today.
-Deep Trivedi
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
To tell the truth is very difficult, and young people are rarely capable of it.
-Leo Tolstoy
It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.
-Henry David Thoreau
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
-Mahatma Gandhi
