Kena Upanishad
I-4. That which is not uttered by speech, that by which the word is expressed, know That alone to be Brahman, and not this (non-Brahman) which is being worshipped.
I-5. That which one does not think with the mind, that by which, they say, the mind is thought, know That alone to be Brahman, and not this (non-Brahman) which is being worshipped.

The truth is not an object of mind or senses. That which is the basis and essence of awareness of the three states of waking, dreaming, and sleeping, is the ‘shivam advaitam atman’. This atman (Self) that illumines and knows the three states is the Brahman. It has no name and no form. We imagine it in diverse ways for the purpose of adoration and meditation. Om Namah Shivaya.

Knowing that, it's pretty clear how a debate on truth will 'sound':D

Sometimes it is "given" to us - IT shows ITself in a way that may or may not be within our known, pre-learned or imagined field.
These verses of the Kena are my favorite in any case.

Understanding that cause or causes is not the hard part. Maintaining and persisting as that is. So the mind thinks it is safer to be in touch as another that to be that.

Om namah: ShivAya
Om namo bhagavate VAsudevAya
