Master of self, called the prince of this world: passion, pride, avarice, vanity, self-will.
Master of truth, called the Father God: meek, patience, purity, sacrifice, love, humility etc.
In every soul, the battle is waged. There is no half and half course, it is either self or truth. Where truth is self is not.
Do you seek to know and to realize truth? Then you must be prepared to sacrifice, to renounce to the uttermost, for truth in all its glory, can be known only when the last vestige of self has disappeared.
Self is the denial of truth. Truth is the denial of self.
There are no difficulties in truth and coming to truth, you will be freed from all sorrow and disappointment. Truth is the one reality in the universe, the inward harmony, the perfect justice, the eternal love. It does not depend upon any one person, but all people depend upon it. You cannot perceive the beauty of truth, while you are looking out through the eyes of self.
Humility is the only quality, which preeminently distinguishes people of truth from people of self. Those who are immerse in self, regard their own opinions as truth, and the opinions of others as error. It is also seen as, those who have most charity, have most of truth.
Followers of self take up arms against others.
Followers of truth take up arms against themselves.
There is but one error, the error of self.
Truth is not a formal belief, it is unselfish, holy and aspiring heart. Those who have truth are at peace with all and cherish all with thought of love. The only way to realize the birth into truth is let self die.
The renunciation of self is the way of truth. People cannot understand truth because they cling to self. People also pass from evil to good, from self to truth through the dark gate of sorrow. Only in the peace and bliss of truth is all sorrow vanquished.
His way may lie through darkness, but it leads to light at last.
Embrace Truth.
