Truth/reality is not a concept


and can't be known. It is what is, inexplicable, ever present and timeless. "Tat tvam asi" ("that thou art" as the Upanishads put it). This is what 'we', and all-and-everything is, ever. This realization is inexpressible by words, ideas or imagination.

But poetry, art and music reflect it.

The only way this wordless realization is expressed is by living it fully every moment - like Ramana, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed and other (known or not) countless and nameless realized 'beings'. Their life is their message.

And so is the life of each and every one, friends. Our life is our message. The rest is just stories.
