97. "The truth is generally beyond recognition, but never quite."
The truth is never what it seems to be
but much profounder, usually well hidden,
maybe even buried deep.
The truth is not for words or definition,
since there is no justice in defining truth.
How, then, are we to reach the truth?
The truth is what we feel is true,
since feelings never lie,
and you are certain of their genuineness.
The truth speaks to you from the heart,
and if you but can listen to your heart
you certainly will know the truth;
but even from your heart and from your feelings
this evasive truth is never quite complete,
you need to constantly investigate it further,
and you must be well aware
that you will never be quite finished with it,
since the truth is nothing but a lifetime work
which never gets completed.
Finally a piece of comfort:
when your heart is full of love and friendship
of that kind which is worth while and never shallow,
you shall know that is the truth,
while enmity and hatred, self-love and enforcement,
arbitrariness, high-handedness and other blind manifestations
that ignores the contact lines with others, turning feelings negative,
are nought but passing lies and bad dreams never to take seriously,
which you will see when you awaken to the feelings of your truth.
