acting. You laugh, somebody comes, says something and you laugh. Discover it within you whether the laugh is authentic, or just you are laughing to please him, or just as a social gesture. Are you really laughing? And you will know by and by: this laugh has been false, this laugh has been real; and the real laugh is a joy.
Real weeping too is a joy because it is authentic. So go on discovering as if is a long journey. This is so long and so much patience is needed and no tricks and no small... no shortcut. Through suffering, through seeking a mind comes to a state where everything becomes a clarity; the reason is attained. You will not rech some God. In the end there is no god waiting for you. In the end you will reach to yourself, but to a mind which is clear, a mind which is understanding, a mind which knows. A mind which is passively alert, not actively illusion-creative, but if someone asks, "what is truth?" then the whole search is diverted to a pseudo question.
If you ask what is truth, then you will be led into philosophy which is the most nonsense effort human mind can do. But if you ask, why the untruth? Why I come to untrue? Why I am not coming to the truth? Then you are asked something else. Another search begins, that search is religion.
Religion concentrates itself to the mind, to the subjectivity. Philosophy asks objective questions: What is truth? What is God? Go on asking, go on answering and you will remain the same because you never touch the mind. You accept it. The mind has been accepted. You have not changed it, you are not trying to transform it. With the same mind you go on asking and receiving answers and collecting answers so you can become a scholar. But not a knower. Then you know so many answers, but not the answer. You know so many things, but not the thing.
I want that you must understand a very dangerous path leads through this question, "what is truth?" A very dangerous and very useless, endless and meaningless quest, because the real question is not what is truth? The real question is what are you? Who is on the path to seek? If he is pseudo, false; if he is an actor, if he is not authentic, then go on
