What is Truth?

When a person is dreaming, the dream appears to be reality. At that time you don't know that it's a dream. A person realizes the falsehood of that dream only when he awakens, when he opens his eyes and finds out that whatever he was seeing in the dream is not there. In the same way, we also realize that this world is not real when we close out eyes. When we close our eyes and go deep into meditation, into Knowledge, then we realize that this world which looks real is not real. The truth which was yesterday but will not be tomorrow is not truth. Truth is that which is eternal, which is permanent all the time.
