So, what is truth?

Something that you can, see? And also record and reproduce, and that too at the point it is required.

Or is it, something that you hear and can record, and reproduce at an opportune time?

Or is it, something that you can feel and relay with emotion as and when required?

Seeing is believing. Hearing is confirming, while the feeling is perspective. All three together can result in the truth. Some can smell the truth, while others can taste it as well.

It all depends on the kind of truth you are after.

However, if the truth is one; why are there different paths to it? That means each can lead you to it but none can be the only truth. The supreme truth. A truth which is devoid of doubts.

So, truth should only be accepted if seen, heard, smelled, tasted, and felt. But then, is truth so cheap and superficial that the known senses can know it? Is it beyond it?

Or is that just a mind playing games. So, what is truth?

Is it just a gimmick? A figment of our imaginations! Better still, one side of the story. Moreover, why does it exist? Why does it need recognition?

Too many questions? There are too few answers. Perhaps, it is the unknown, unfathomable, beyond intellect. It cannot be touched, heard, seen, smelt, tasted, or picturized. It has to be accepted.

Simply put, it needs submission. Full surrender.
