Therefore Buddha sometimes used this word “suchness” to describe this highest truth. To love the truth is to love suchness, to love what is. Suchness, or emptiness, goes beyond mental images and therefore you have to be a little bit or sometimes very crazy to love suchness. You have to be crazy to love emptiness because it is totally irrational according to ego’s plan. It is totally irrational to love emptiness because it doesn’t give us anything. Emptiness doesn’t give us anything. It is just suchness. It is just what is.
