The True REvolutionary ( 06 Aug 2006)

The true revolutionary
---------------------------------
Truth is not for those who are respectable, nor for those who desire self-extension,
self-fulfillment. Truth is not for those who are seeking security, permanency; for
the permanency they seek is merely the opposite of impermanency. Being caught in the
net of time, they seek that which is permanent, but the permanent they seek is not
the real because what they seek is the product of their thought. Therefore, a man
who would discover reality must cease to seek - which does not mean that he must be
contented with what is. On the contrary, a man who is intent upon the discovery of
truth must be inwardly a complete revolutionary. He cannot belong to any class, to
any nation, to any group or ideology, to any organized religion; for truth is not in
the temple or the church, truth is not to be found in the things made by the hand or
by the mind. Truth comes into being only when the things of the mind and of the hand
are put aside, and that putting aside of the things of the mind and
of the hand is not a matter of time. Truth comes to him who is free of time, who
is not using time as a means of self-extension. Time means memory of yesterday,
memory of your family, of your race, of your particular character, of the
accumulation of your experience which makes up the 'me' and the 'mine'.
