"If we are to live well – in both the material and spiritual sense – truth-seeking and truth-telling must be integrated with an awareness that our efforts will always be clouded in uncertainty and the illusions that the Hindus refer to as "maya." Understanding arises from the interplay of the search for truth and a willingness to be comfortable with the uncertainties that increasingly arise from that search. Einstein expressed this relationship well when he observed: "as a circle of light increases, so does the circumference of darkness around it.""
Fascinating article on 'reality'.

I'd like ot hear what you say about truth...
Is truth relative or objective?
Truth is grounded in natural law. An individual's perception of truth is relative, to both his mindset and the framework of the system, as understood by that individual. But within that individual and his need for a simple explanation of everything that fits a consistent point of view, truth must be objective.
