All I can tell you is this,
Never entertain liars in your life.
No matter how painful reality is,
Let the Truth always be your wife
Or husband. Not a human or a face
But Truth itself should be your true spouse,
Permanently nourishing you deep within you.
Not a building, not an edifice or a space
But the Truth itself should be your real house,
Permanently protecting you deep within you.
