What Is Truth?

Jesus said "Seek the Truth and the Truth shall set you Free"However Jesus never described what Truth is nor what freedom is.Pontius Pilate asked Him what is truth but Jesus did not answer him.There is no more mention of Truth in the new testament.The reason why Jesus kept silent and did not explain to Pontius Pilate what is Truth is because Truth is incomprehensible to the mind and also it is unspeakable.Truth can only be experienced.No amount of discourse can convey to the mind what Truth is.
Truth can only be realized when one has attained Self-Realization.
What or how is knowing Truth set us free?What are we supposed to be free from?
This saying of Jesus can easily be understood in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Both of these religions emphasise that our lower self is not the Real or higher Self.We can experienced Truth once we have dispel this ignorance of the "I" and mine"as being the real Self.
Life is also suffering because everyone, whether rich or poor, beggar or kings,presidents or prime ministers, all have to go through birth, sickness, aging and death. The next thing is to accept that reincarnation awaits us after death.Once we accept reincarnation and that life is suffering, then we can say that when we know the Truth, we will no longer have to come back into this world (ie reincarnation) to suffer this life.There is no longer birth, sickness, old age and death.This is what salvation really is.By not reincarnating again , we have eternal life.We become one with God.This is what Buddha called enligtenment and in Hinduism, it is called Self Realization or God Realization.In Hinduism, the word for freedom is called Moksha.
