Re:Truth

Dear mkr

Volume II of the SD ends:
"*Satyat Nasti paro dharmah.*
THERE IS NO RELIGION HIGHER THAN TRUTH."

Is it possible to "think" of anything fixed, or, is it possible to "think"
of anything which is not moving and active?

There is no harm in guidance.

How will it ever be possible to come back and say what truth is? "It is
beyond the range and reach of thought -- in the words of Mandukya,
"unthinkable and unspeakable."" (See 1st fundamental proposition in SD)
"thinking" is all very well at this stage of evolution, but it is only a
stage, and a rather slow one at that.
TRUTH is infinite, so how could anything finite ever describe it, or put it
into any finite kind of language or symbology.
