Belief in the Existence of GOD shows that one is searching for truth. Truth is that which is unborn, immortal and remains unchanged in the past, present and future. To know it, one needs to purify one’s thoughts, speech and actions. Purification is of utmost importance because only through a purified mind can an aspirant think clearly and contemplate deeply. Once we are sincerely determined to search for the truth and fully committed to self – purification, we are certain to find the way and reach our goal. Truth itself becomes our guide and we find ourselves on the right path.
Truth is the Divine Force which dwells in every individual’s heart. It is the all-pervading, eternal reality joining one individual to another and linking all existence in one Divine awareness. That Divine Force is called GOD. One who believes in and surrenders himself to GOD attains freedom here and now. He knows that he belongs to GOD---and God belongs to him. His awareness shifts from the world to GOD and he lives a life free from insecurity and fear. He has an unshakable faith in Divine protection. The scriptures constantly remind us that just as the ocean accepts a river and makes it its own, so GOD receives all who sincerely seek the DIVINE. It does not matter which path they follow or from which background they come. The only requirement is a desire to know the truth. Once the desire is awakened, all means and resources come together. Water finds its own level; likewise, a true lover of GOD finds GOD. The highest philosophy is to know that truth and GOD are one and the same and the highest practice is to search for truth through one’s thoughts, speech and action.
