Key Teachings
- Absolute Truth is the only truth that does not depend on anything else. It is self-established and self-evident.
- Unlike relative truth which changes with time, place, and circumstances, Absolute Truth is eternal and unchanging.
- The experiencer is the Absolute Truth because it is the one constant across all contexts, states and experiences.
- Knowing Absolute Truth is self realisation. It is not intellectual understanding but direct knowledge.
