bit of truth, and then add our ego to it, and to twist it to what the ego wants to happen.
Truth serves love. So love truth enough to serve it, and not to be satisfied with anything less that the real truth in your life.
Here's a great quote from Mahatma Gandhi, that brings out another aspect of truth for me.
"It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken,
and the wisest might err."
-Mahatma Gandhi
The quote is certainly true at the level of wisdom. Wisdom is the way you apply truth, and the application can be wrong sometimes. We all know certain truths. Wisdom is our judgement of how to apply these truths. The more truths we know or integrate into our self as real to us, the more accurate our wisdom can become, but an interpretation or application error in applying wisdom can still be made.
When truths are taken on board and you adjust your beliefs accordingly, you can better match the real truth.
So how do I better match real truth now?
You match truth only by living truth, and this is matching truth. And you live truth, by applying truth with the wisdom and understanding that you have now. And because this understanding grows by applying the truths, you will then be better able to apply these truths. It's a spiral of connecting parts. Truth leads to greater wisdom then, which in turn leads to greater understanding of truth, so a better application of truth, which then leads back to the real experience of truth. And from there, from every experience of a real truth, you can again increase your wisdom of the way of application of truth. Truth feeds on truth, and the product is never a waste product, but becomes your wisdom of application through a greater understanding of these truths.
