Pursue Truth to the Deepest Core!

Pursue Truth to the Deepest Core!
By Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj
“When we study the different religions of the world, we find that at the root and dissemination of each, there was some true saint, prophet or sage who undertook intense meditation and profound spiritual effort. The great beings — saints, prophets, sages — first realize within themselves the true nature of the Divine through meditation in solitude. Then they bring forth this knowledge and teach other people the path of peace and well being. When their followers increase, these teachings often take the form of a new religion or sect. Due to geographical, cultural and temporal variations it is predictable that these religions will appear to differ considerably. These contextual differences are the reason that each religion has its distinct deities, rituals and practices.
“People encounter the outward symbols and convictions of a religion, at first, and are attracted to a religion according to their own personal preferences. This is a natural human response. However, a true seeker of Truth will pursue truth to the deepest core of these religions, and there, the seeker will find that the center of all religious paths is essentially the same. Every one of these religions is erected upon the foundation of the Infinite Supreme Being (Reality) whose nature is Truth and Peace. [Even in the traditions where the founder of the system does not directly speak of ‘God’ as was the case with the Buddha, the path that he taught reflects the human search for eternal Wisdom, Truth (Satya), inner peace, and a State of Transcendence (Nirvana)].”
“Guru Nanak Dev says:
‘The one who shows you your home (eternal abode, God) within your home (your body, in which this soul resides), is the truly benevolent Sat Guru (true teacher). The melodious Sound of the five divine instruments and the Essential Sound are reverberating in the depth of your being.’”
