Looking out into reality while wearing red glasses, you will say - reality is red
Another person wearing blue glasses will say - No, reality is blue.
Another person wearing yellow glasses will say - No, no, you are both wrong, I see reality as being yellow.

Words and concepts create beliefs, create the colored glasses, which color reality and truth.
When you are not wearing colored glasses (know the truth about words, concepts and beliefs, and apply said truth), your reality is not colored by words, concepts and beliefs.
