Don’t seek the truth, just drop your opinions

“Don’t seek the truth, just drop your opinions”Source: Zen Proverb

This comes back to understanding the difference between reality and illusion. The truth is very basic but we introduce labels and concepts about things – “this is beautiful”, “that is bad” and then claim these are the truth.

The truth is that nothing is “beautiful” or “bad” even if everyone you know says they are so – these are human constructs or concepts. By putting them to one side you will then see reality … which is the truth.

By looking at it this way the truth does not need to be found, it is staring you in the face every day. The tricky part is accepting it as it is.
