Definition of Truth
“And
here it will be fitting to introduce the sages’
defination of the term truth. It has been
earlier demonstrated that without such a defination
men wander in a dry wilderness of hollow fancies,
unfounded opinions, worthless theories and
hypostatized words. This defination may sound quite
simple, but it implications are most profound. It
should be graven deeply on the heart. Here it is:
TRUTH is that which is beyond all contradiction and
free from all doubt; which is indeed beyond the very
possibility of both contradiction and doubt; beyond
the changes and alternations of time and vicissitude;
forever one and the same, unalterable and unaltering;
universal and therefore independent of all human
ideation.”
