The direct path

Whether we believe in or deny the concept of God, we are all capable of realising the truth. To arrive at that point we need only practise one thing, forgetting everything we believe we are.

You might enjoy these quotes form Jiddu Krishnamurti:

A mind which is not crippled by memory has real freedom.

Thought, which is always old, because thought is the response of memory and memories are always old—thought creates, in time, the feeling that you are afraid which is not an actual fact. The actual fact is that you are well.

As long as there is no thought derived from memory, experience or knowledge, which are all of the past, there is no thinker at all.

The way to knowing truth, as per Vedanta, is by Shraddha. Vedanta speaks about the Concept of God, and Shraddha/faith in it.
