on searching. An unauthentic mind, how it can reach to the truth?
Truth comes to a true a mind. It comes by itself to a true mind. You can know only that which you are; you cannot know that which you are not. If you are untrue, untruth will be coming; if you true, truth is bound to come. The same is attracted to the same. An untrue mind repels the true; it seeks but it repels. So if an untrue can collect definitions, philosophies, systems, but that is not the real seeking.
Turn it! Never ask what is true, ask how the mind becomes such that the true comes to it. You see the distinction? You understand the distinction? The question is not, where is the sun?; the question is, how to open the window so the sun may come in. It is there, it has been always there. If your window is closed, it will be there. But the window is closed; so sun is not, the darkness is. And someone asks in the darkness, what is the light? What is the sun? Where to seek it? Where to go? And goes on circling, circling that very dark room, because your mind is the dark room. So you cannot go outside it. You will have to break some windows, some doors in this mind. If you go on with this mind through lives, you will be asking the same: what is light? What is light? And the mind is dark and there is no window, there is no opening, there is no door, and goes on asking. And in the darkness, it consoles itself by collecting some answers. Geeta, Ramayan, Quran, Bible it collects.... And in darkness it is consolated that I am knowing, knowing, knowing, by and by I will come to know; I have known so much answers. But the mind is dark, and there is no opening.
So I say throw your scriptures and throw you rules. And break your mind so that the light may come in; it is ever-ready, ever-waiting. The moment the window is open, the light comes. And the whole dark corner is changed, something else has come in and then you can never lose it.
So concentrate on your mind, not any objective truth. Make your search concentrated on your mind; the mind is the problem. And then there is no philosophy; and there comes religion. Religion is existential, experimental. Philosophy is speculative:
