To me, to spiritualists, to scientists, to artists, to philosophers, to you and all of us that come to our blog. In fact to anyone that is honest and in search of the truth.  Each single answer is a false truth unless it raises many many more questions.  In the yearning for answers lies the quest for spirituality and truth, not in the finding of answers.<br \/>\nUnfortunately my mind, my Ego, looks for definiteness. It tries to define everything by confining everything. It cannot accept that a million truths can exist in complete contradiction of each other. There is no one true God. There is no one great truth. The Divine is a sum of all imagination, of all perception and of all eternity.<br \/>\nTill we stop looking for finite answers to explain the infinite, the only truth is the quest for truth.  There is no finite answer, just as there is no one question.  The yearning is to finally merge with infinite without questioning, without  analysis.  Meanwhile I battle my ego to stop it from settling into a finite &#8216;code&#8217; of perception.  That battle is expressed and shared in this blog.<br \/>\nAnd will I ever go to the Himalaya&#8217;s in search of that merging ?  Am I not &#8216;traveling&#8217; the Himalaya&#8217;s as we speak ? Or am I just fooling myself, and driving everyone else into some kind of intellectual escape from reality.  Don&#8217;t think that I do not ask myself these questions every day, all the time.  Not allowing my mind even to settle and find solace in this argument.  The Ego is clever. It will seduce me by intellectualism too.<br \/>\nA question, Gaurav. Just keep questioning. Refusing to settle for answers, any one answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;For every body that walks into this blogs for an answer just leaves with 10 other questions.Will you ever walk in search of yourself on the Himalayas..or you just wrote it because it makes sense ?&#8221; Thank you Gaurav for the most searing question.
