Truth is beyond space and time. The one who does not yearn for truth will be trapped in space and time and become dogged. That man alone can remain free from mulish tendencies who has the capacity to think across time - in the past, present and the future. The one who draws from the innumerable events of the past will never be obstinate.

Actually the whole world is passing through the age of transition. For truth this age has been very costly. Being eternal, it is neither new nor old - so, on both sides, the doors to it are closed.

To search for truth should be the main goal in one's life. Those who live by truth sometimes become so dogged in their pursuit that even their truth seems a lie. Without control over passions and practising neutrality, purity and straightforwardness, do we have a right to seek the truth?
The 89-year-old Acharya Mahaprajna, head of Jain Swetambar Terapanth Samaj, attained mahasamadhi on May 9, 2010 in Rajasthan.
