Truth is simple...

Truth is simple and open to all.

Why do you
complicate?

Truth is loving and lovable.

It
includes all, accepts all, purifies all.

It is untruth
that is difficult and a source of trouble.

It
always wants, expects, demands.

Being false, it is
empty, always in search of confirmation and
reassurance.

It is afraid of and avoids enquiry.

It
identifies itself with any support, however weak
and momentary.

Whatever it gets, it loses and asks
for more.

Therefore put no faith in the conscious.

Nothing you can see, feel, or think is so.

Even sin
and virtue, merit and demerit are not what they
appear

. Usually the bad and the good are matter of
convention and custom and are shunned or welcomed,
according to how the words are used.
