UNIVERSAL TRUTH

There are certain universal truths that all agree on. There is power
beyond that of man which we call God. Mankind has yearning to understand
the divine and tries to do so through the prisms of different religions.
God is one and does not worry about what name people use to refer
to the divine, all that is needed is a good heart
and ethical life. This is the universal truth.

Once the value Education teacher brought in a lamp and prism to
class. The students were surprised and thought  Was she going
to take the practical class in physics? They watched as she set up
the lamp and prism, clearly dividing the white light into the seven colours
of rainbow. She said, “ sometimes when we see things through different
media, they appear different though they are same. For example, the
light has seven colours in it. In the similar manner, God is one- like the
white light. Different religions are like different prisms, trying
to divide the white light in different ways to understand.
The children now understood the link.

Truth is considered to be universal if it is valid in all places at all
times. Though times may changes, the truth remains the same. Examples
of such truths are friendship, faith and love. We also learn simple
truths from our experiences in daily life. Divinity cannot be seen it
can only be experienced in universal truths. So  remember :
UNIVERSAL TRUTHS LIE WITHIN US AND ALL AROUND US.

Make God your Guru
Let him tell you What to do
Listen! He is calling and quite clearly too!
Take time to listen and have courage to obey
The inner voice is calling and it is calling you.
There are voices all around us
From our foes and our friends
Do this, do that, do not do that
The Chorus never ends.
But I shall always listen
To that quiet, inner voice
That is true and definite
I have made my choice
