Untruth & truth-Tamil saying

Tamizh (தமிழ்) saying: கண்ணால் காண்பதும் பொய், காதால் கேட்பதும் பொய், தீர விசாரிப்பதே மெய்

Many Tamizh sayings are multi-layered with material & spiritual meanings.

Meaning: What you see or hear is false, what you investigate in-depth is the truth.

In essence, don't believe what you see or hear, investigate for the truth.

Vedantic: What you see, hear or perceive of this world is ultimately false. Investigate in-depth who you truly are within, and you'll know the truth.

Reminded of Adi Shankara:
श्लोकार्घेन प्रवक्ष्यामि यदुक्तं ग्रन्थकोटिभिः।
ब्रह्म सत्यं जगन्मिथ्या जीवो ब्रह्मैव नापरः।
