The Buddha says: "Do not cling to any aspect, whether it is an aspect of truth or an aspect of untruth. Just don't hold on. ".

His demand is non-attachment, non-attachment, because any clinging, any clinging will leave you hanging, will leave you in ignorance. Even if you feel, "this is true", don't cling. It's not a question of truth or falsehood, it's a question of commitment. He emphasizes non-adherence... Don't even stick to the truth!

This does not mean that the truth should be abandoned. It simply means that leaving requires commitment. Commitment creates all kinds of dependence, imprisonment. Non-commitment brings you freedom - and truth can only live in absolute freedom.

You cannot hold the truth in dependence, in any kind of confinement. You cannot grasp the truth because the truth is almost like the open sky. You can receive it with your open hand - all the sky is yours, all the stars are yours - but don't try to make a fist. The moment you flex your fist, the whole sky slips out of your hand.

His demand: not to join. Certainly, it is easy to understand not to be attached to the truth; So he explains that even if you are attached to the truth, that attachment becomes a poison that will kill the truth itself.

So stay away - no obligation, just until.
