Product Description

The first and the basic sutra to be understood is that truth is attained in emptiness and is lost in
words. Truth is attained in silence and is lost in speech. Truth has no language; all language is
untruth.
Language as such is created by man. Truth is not created by man, it is his discovery. Truth is. It is
neither to be created nor to be proved but only to be unveiled. And this unveiling of the truth happens
only when all the noise of language inside stops, because language is the veil. Thoughts are the
only obstacle.
When a child is born he has no language. He does not come with any scripture, any religion, any
caste or any nation. He arrives as an emptiness. The sacredness of emptiness is unique. Emptiness
is the only virginity, the rest is all perversion. The child arrives like a fresh flower, there is not even
a scratch on his consciousness. He does not know anything. But the child’s capacity to know is
pure. He is like a mirror on which nothing is reflected yet, but the mirroring capacity is total and pure.
Later on there will be many reflections; knowledge will increase but the capacity to know will go on
decreasing. Because that emptiness will become full of words the emptiness will cease to exist. It is
as if the reflections on the mirror go on sticking to it and do not disappear from it. Then, the mirror’s
capacity to reflect will go on decreasing.
A child is born; he does not know anything but his capacity to know is pure. That is why children
learn quickly and old people learn with difficulty. It is so because the old person’s capacity to learn
has become less – he has had enough of everything. A lot has been written on his slate; his paper
is no longer blank now. For writing something new, the paper has to be made blank all over again.
You can attain truth only if you can become again like the newborn child. So the arrival of the child in
this world is the first birth, and the second birth is when sainthood is born in him. Whosoever goes
through the second birth is dwija, twice born, and he is the real brahmin.
