1990 – 08 – 29; Public Program, Frankfurt Germany Shri Mataji: I bow to all the seekers of truth.  At the very outset, we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot change it, organise it, or describe it. Unless and until you know it, whatever one may say about the truth, one need not accept.
