What is truth?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Truth is the eternal witness that remains when all relationships dissolve, the essence that transcends the fleeting nature of our worldly ties."
According to Osho, truth is not found in our fleeting relationships—husband, wife, children, family—but in that which remains when all chance meetings part. Worldly ties are momentary, like a river meeting a boat; they come and go. Truth is the enduring, witnessing presence prior to and beyond these transient bonds, the essence that persists through births and separations.
Truth isn’t the people we’re with for a while; it’s the deeper you that remains when all meetings end.
