God Is Love ; God is Truth and Truth is God!!!!!!!!! part 2

[Guest guest]

What then is Truth?

 

A difficult question, but I have solved it for my self by saying that

it is what the voice within tells you. How then, you ask, do

different people think of different and contrary truths?

 

Well, seeing that the human mind works through innumerable media and

that the evolution of the human mind is not the same for all, it

follows that what may be truth for one may be untruth for another,

and hence those who have made these experiments have come to the

conclusion that there are certain conditions to be observed in making

those experiments. Just as for conducting scientific experiments

there is an indispensable scientific course of instruction, in the

same way strict preliminary discipline is necessary to qualify a

person to make experiments in the spiritual realm. Everyone

should, therefore, realise his limitations before he speaks of his

inner voice. Therefore we have the belief based upon experience, that

those who would make ndividual search after truth as God, must go

through several vows, as for instance, the vow of truth, the vow

of brahmacharya (purity), for you cannot possibly divide your love

for Truth and God with anything else - the vow of non-violence, of

poverty and non-possession. Unless you impose on yourselves the five

vows you may not embark on the experiment at all.

 

There are several other conditions prescribed, but I must not take

you through all of them. Suffice it to say that those who have made

these experiments know that it is not proper for everyone to claim to

hear the voice of conscience and it is because we have at the present

moment everybody claiming the right of conscience without going

through any discipline whatsoever that there is so much untruth being

delivered to a bewildered world. All that I can in true humility

present to you is that truth is not to be found by anybody who has

not got an abundant sense of humility. If you would swim on the bosom

of the ocean of Truth you must reduce yourself to a zero. Further

than this I cannot go along this fascinating path.

Dear Friends

and how do you differentiate between your inner voice and illusions?

For many years this was a real "problem" for "me"

looking forward for your practical conclusions

Good luck on this. I think the processes of the mind are pure of

necessity. That is, logic and reason are truthful but the purposes

they are put to sometimes are not.

 

If you do math the answers come in the small truthful voice. The

same if you are solving problems.

 

In Raja Yoga you find that the mental processes are: logic, dreaming,

memory, imagination, and intuition. These are distinct from the

vrittis or the thoughts that these processes generate.

 

So if you have a prejudiced thought and use logic the logic is

hindered but still does the best that it can. If you have a fear

that blocks memory the memory still does the best that it can. If

your mind is not still intuition is blocked but it still does the

best that it can.

 

So for a practical suggestion, I suggest you study Patanjali.
