The Master famously says: "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
If we seek the truth because we want to be free, however, this will not happen. Or at least not at once, although we are heading in the right direction. But the truth is not like a doctor we come to with our symptoms, who then fixes us up and we part amicably. Rather, truth is like someone you fall in love with and marry, and live happily (but not always easily) ever after. We know truth in the Biblical way, so to speak, the way Adam knew Eve. Or, in our case, rather the other way around. Of this is our freedom born, out of our love for truth and its love for us.
Or so the voice in my head says.

Very good point. We have to, in a way, surrender to the truth and be taken captive by it before we are free from non-truth.
