Belief is not the gateway to truth—it’s the barrier. Belief demands that you accept without knowing. But meditation is not about believing; it’s about trusting life, trusting yourself, and diving into direct experience. Don’t cling to borrowed truths. Avoid beliefs—Hindu, Christian, or otherwise. Seek for yourself. You may eventually arrive at the same truth described in the Bible or the Vedas—but only after you’ve lived it. Only when you’ve seen it for yourself can you say, “Yes, this is true.” Before that, these texts are just words. Without your own experience, they weigh you down rather than set you free. The search is difficult—because truth isn’t just unknown, it’s unknowable in the ordinary sense. It can’t be contained in definitions or dogmas. It requires everything from you. You must risk your comfort, your identity, even your beliefs. If you’re following scriptures, you’re following marked rivers. If you’re clinging to religion or dogma, you’re walking with a map. But truth has no map. It is not a public highway; it’s a private, personal footpath. No one else can walk it for you. You cannot reach truth as a Christian, as a Hindu, or as a follower of anything. You reach it only as you—raw, vulnerable, and awake. Meditation is for the courageous, not the conforming. It’s not for believers; it’s for seekers.
