4 Crucial Lessons from Truth by Akif Manaf

Reading works by Akif Manaf help widen your perspective on life in a soft and moving way. 

There are 4 crucial lessons from “Truth” that really stand out:

1: Judgement brings you further from the truth. 

As the book mentions, comparing oneself to others or judging your true feelings will not only prevent psychological recovery, but it will prevent you from experiencing the truth. Not accepting and judging your feelings will lead to the opposite of truth, known as illusion. What should be done instead is to look inward without judgement. Only then will the truth open up to you.

2: The truth will come naturally without force

Truth will be available once you reach a place of no judgement, fears, or anxieties. Once there, the gateway to the truth will be automatic and natural. 

3: Only those blind to the truth seeks power

The one who sees the truth does not pursue power because the person trusts their own power. 

4: Awareness and experimentation are needed to experience truth

Worry, fear, jealousy, and other strong emotions can distract from the truth. The individual must be aware that all this is due to ignorance of the truth. Rather, the individual must see oneself as a researcher and discover their inner world without judgement.

This book gives insight on how to enrich your life. It encourages big behavioral changes. If you embrace them daily, the dynamics of your life will change for the better as there is a deep sense of comfort and ease that is felt when embracing truth.
