Quotations
Truth
When the force of the desire for Truth blossoms, selfish desires wither away, just like darkness vanishes before the radiance of the light of dawn.
-Adi Shankara "Adi Shankara"
The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

-Leo Tolstoy
Through true devotional worship, they are attuned to Truth; at the True Door, they are found to be true. Blessed is their coming into being; they redeem all their ancestors.
-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Guru Granth Sahib"
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
When truth is divided, errors multiply.
-Eli Siegel
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
It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.
-Henry David Thoreau
