Absolute Truth?

Those great philosophers who think that, the body, the senses, the life breath, the fickle intellect, the concept of emptiness and all other nothingness, are nothing but themselves, are similar to the children, the blind and the ignorant. It is only He who can destroy, this veil of ignorance, and wake us up from this state of deceit.

- Sri Dakshinamurthy Stotram

This is a sample of the approach of negation in identifying the truth about the concept of Self. Senses, the body etc cannot be the absolute truth as they are transient.
