One Truth


“The soul of all is one soul and the truth is one truth, under whatever religion or philosophy it is hidden.” Hazrat Inayat Khan.

“Something formless, perfect and serene existed before the universe was born.
It is empty yet whole, solitary, unchanging, infinite, eternally present.
Ever still, yet ever in motion, it is the mother of the ten thousand things.

For want of a better name, I call it the Tao.” Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching.

“The real does not die; the unreal never lived.” Sri Nisargedatta Maharaj

The journey of spiritual evolution is a deeply personal experience that is surprisingly universal in its essence.
Down the ages, the mystics and sages of all races, creeds, and cultures discovered one supreme truth.

They all drank from the same immortal spring : the infinite depths of the Self.
This is the root of all life, the transcendental dimension that underlies the universe of form.
It is the unbroken thread of pure consciousness that everything is woven of.
It is the whole, the one, the timeless Being, shining eternally beyond all conceptual thought.
It is the indescribable,ultimate reality beyond mind and time and space.

It is that blissful perfection that is the essence of every being.
None can know it; you can only BE it.

Every human being remembers this experience: this occasional glimpse, this tantalising taste of something sacred, something divine.
Somewhere deep inside you, you know this truth is your very nature.
This is why there is always a longing, a craving for that which can make you truly whole.

Nothing else will ever complete you.

“That which is consciousness alone, which is all-pervading, infinite and eternal, which is all-full, which is of the form of bliss and which is indestructible, is the only true Brahman.” Varaha Upanishad
