Sadhguru
Why is it wrong to treat an authority as the truth?
Do not make authority the truth
People say God is love, compassion or peace, but nobody really knows the nature of the source of existence. They are making it up because some authority said it. Making authority the truth instead of truth the authority is a grave mistake that derails your consciousness.
Nobody really knows the nature of the source of existence; they are just making it up because it was said somewhere, because some authority said it.
