Anyone Can Ascend If They Truly Know Where Truth Lies (Part 1)

★To Meet the True Truth

You could say it’s a sign of the times, but looking at today’s world on a global scale, words called truth, a mix of gems and stones, are overflowing, and people calling themselves saints or saviors are putting themselves forward by the heap.

Among the lost masses, people seeking truth or looking for a path read or listen to someone’s talks and knock on someone’s door seeking salvation. But even if the content of the truth that person speaks or writes is correct, it often happens that the person’s own thoughts, words, and deeds are not correct, so in such cases it’s essential to be careful.

What that means is that words called truth that don’t match the thoughts, words, and deeds of the person speaking them aren’t truth in the first place, but non-truth.

★In Real Truth, Life Shines Vividly

Real truth has the light of life running through it. When there’s a gap between the thoughts, words, and deeds of the person speaking it and the truth that’s spoken, the light of life has a hard time working in the words spoken, so their power to move people’s hearts becomes weak.

Do you follow?

To give an easy example, suppose there’s someone who says, “Setting aside your own convenience and loving others is more important than anything.”

But if the person saying those words puts protecting themselves above everything and acts from selfish thoughts rather than altruistic ones, however correct what they say may be, their words have no ring of truth and no persuasiveness, right?

This is something that people in positions of guiding others especially want to be careful about.

And the reason morality, spiritual training, and religion until now, though they conveyed good things, sometimes couldn’t dissolve people’s anguish at the root, is that in some cases the practice of those conveying them hadn’t caught up with their words.

The general public has forgotten or doesn’t know the main road of truth shared throughout the universe, so rather than connecting themselves directly with truth itself, they tend to try to be saved or get on the path by relying on others.

That’s exactly why they sometimes sought a breakthrough even in words not matched by deeds.

But “plausible words” without the practice of truth hardly carry the power to revive the original divinity within people, so many people remained in the world of dualistic opposition and couldn’t find their way out. (Continued next time)
