ANNOTATION:
Absolute Truth

A few more questions on absolute truth.

The sanskrit word for absolute truth is sathya, which by definition is 'something that doesn't change'. In a constantly evolving world, can we with any certainty attribute this quality to anything at all. Could the process, seen universally from the begining (if there is one) till the end (again if there is one), be called absolute truth? Or is it God? As a sanskrit proverb says 'sathyam brahma', 'Truth is God'.
