Description

Acharya Prashant explains that truth, or Shiva, is not a matter of accumulated knowledge or memory. Knowing, in the worldly sense, is merely the identification of things through memory and past experience. Since truth is not a part of time or the past, it cannot be expressed in words or conceptualized by the mind. This inability to talk about or know the truth is not a limitation but a sign of liberation, as it implies that one is the truth itself. Truth is not a dualistic experience or a piece of information; it is one's deepest silence and the center around which all thoughts move.
