Truth never needs to be proved. When the truth of what is said is challenged, there is naturally a protest. Words spoken after that are usually defensive and argumentative. This leads only to waste talk and arguments because no one is willing to listen at that time. But truth is that which is revealed on it own and never needs to be proved. When we recognize the fact that we are right and are aware of this, we never feel the need to prove it. We never argue our point but have the self-respect of what we are. So even if we are challenged we remain unaffected. We understand that a real diamond shines on even when it is lying with stones or covered with dust.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu
