Quote of the Day – June 6 2012

“If you are truly a seeker of Truth, Truth can not hide from you. It is in the Lap of truth that you have happened. Most people who claim to be seekers are only seeking security, solace, or the fulfillment of their desires.”
—-Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

This echoes to me of many things. Jack Nicholson telling Tom Cruise “You can’t handle the truth”, indicating that the truth can take shapes we may not wish it to.
So often we go in search of answers but the questions sometimes remain nebulous. A man wants to know why his wife is distant and less attentive than she used to be but doesn’t necessarily want to find out that she is having an affair with her best friend. Another finds out that everything he was brought up to believe was at best half-truths. Indeed I have always been bemused by people who have been able to hold on to early beliefs. Still I’ve talked a lot about Integral Thought and the elephant and I think that the truth tends to be both simpler and more elusive than I yet can see.
Blessings, G

    1. I believe Sadhguru’s words in this quote equally applies to personal truth..

      I like R Buckminster Fuller’s quote that the universe is an ‘asynchronously apprehended phenomenon’ , too big to be understood all at once… To me the nature of the multi-verse itself that we exist in, that wonderful non-synchronously apprehended phenomenon is objective truth… (well if you add in everything that lies outside of it as well 😉 )

      Thank you for commenting

  1. Love all the color on this rainy grey day.

    I have a wise guide that reminds me that joy and contentment are found in the seeking, not in the finding. For me it’s so true. I absolutely love wandering in wonder. That’s one of the reasons I love writing. It requires me to wonder, about many things.

    1. Thanks for your response. It reminds me of the line from Dan Fogelberg’s song “Part of the Plan”:
      “All of the answers you seek can be found in the dreams you dream along the way” 🙂
