How do we seek the Truth?

If we know that we must seek the Truth, then the next obvious question is how exactly do we go about it? In this regard, there is no definite answer. One cannot say "do this, do that, but not that". Such suggestions would turn into rules that are already rigid in themselves. However, as seekers of the Truth, we still do need some kind of guideline that we can follow without falling into the danger of rigidity, which latter, of course becomes a form of indoctrination and therefore, religion.

The first obvious step is to recognise that if the Truth does exist, then It must come from a Source. For there is no Truth without a Source, just as there is no life without a source. Science, for instance, declares that the sun is the source of all life on this planet, whether directly or indirectly. This is true, however, only as regards the physical bodies which are only forms of matter. Consciousness, on the other hand, is something different, having a source of its own.

In a similar manner, Truth Itself has a Source and we must be able to appreciate this fact. Also given that we all have the ability to find the Truth, but not that we inherently already possess It, we can infer that the Truth does not really dwell within us. Otherwise, living within the Truth would be a natural part of us already. But this is not the case.

If we can appreciate that the Truth exists and has a Source, then we can extend this further and state that the Source of this Truth is the Source of Everything, since the Living Truth Itself is the Ultimate. And following this thread of thinking, we can simultaneously acknowledge the Truth as GOD, the Creator of Everything!

This is a different conception of the Almighty, inasmuch as it is possible to form such a conception. But when we have made this recognition, then perhaps we are on the right path in finding the Truth. For finding the Truth means to find GOD, to find the Source of Everything!

We can take this concept even further. If we believe that GOD is Truth and likewise that Truth is GOD, then we can immediately assume, without the slightest danger of presumption, that the Truth, like GOD, is PERFECT beyond comparison. Hence, if we go searching for the Truth, and keep our eyes and ears wide open during our search for That Which is Perfect in every way, then we will find the Truth!
