The Meaning and Spirit of Truth

 

To the spiritual aspirant Truth is more than truth-speaking. Truth is

God or the Absolute. It is Truth that triumphs, not untruth. Truth is

right, untruth is wrong; that which elevates one and takes one nearer

to God is right, that which brings one down and takes one away from

God is wrong. God is the indivisible unity of conscious existence.

Control over passions constitutes the essence of truth. Self-denial or

refraining from greedy indulgence is truth. Truth is eternal life and

existence; untruth is change, decay and death. Love is truth; hatred

is untruth. There is no greater sin than hatred and battle. Relative

truths are valid only so long as they do no contradict absolute truth

which is eternal in the highest sense.
